This Friday, May 24, is the beginning of Memorial Day weekend Activities. Between the outdoor cookouts, backyard BBQs, Beach Volleyball, and non-stop sporting events on TV, it is easy to miss the origins of this National Holiday.
Memorial Day is a day dedicated to honoring and remembering those who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is observed on the last Monday in May and is a solemn occasion marked by visits to cemeteries, where flags are placed on the graves of veterans. The day serves as a time for reflection on the sacrifices made by military personnel and the loss of life during both peacetime and wartime. Memorial Day also marks the unofficial beginning of summer in the United States, and it is a day when families and friends come together to pay their respects and honor the fallen heroes of our country.
While there may be several venues in SL that acknowledge Memorial Day Weekend, one of the best tributes to those fallen heroes is built by PureLife Magnifico. The mastermind behind the construction of Rockin’ Robin @ The PureLife Lodge, Purelife is noted for the special builds he creates for almost a dozen holidays and special themed events, both official and unofficial, throughout the year. PureLife notes that of all his builds, Veterans Memorial Park is the one in which he takes the most Pride. Along with a Large dance floor with DJs around the clock, there are special areas dedicated to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and US Coast Guard.
Rockin Robin is open 24/7, with a special Memorial Day
Tribute event beginning at 6:00PM SLT on Monday, May 26, 2025
