Memorial day gets a lot of attention but most of the attention seems to be that people are off for the holiday. Here, in Oklahoma, it marks the start of lake / camping season. Our local lake will be packed with boats and drunken morons.
I usually go to the cemetary on Memorial Day and clean family plots and leave flowers. I see several folks while I am there but then this is a small town.
Veterans day barely gets a nod around here and the company I work for pretty much ignores it which just goes all over me.
