Shopper stock up on supplies ahead of Memorial Day
SUMMARY: Memorial Day is a significant holiday, with shoppers at the South Jackson Walmart eagerly preparing for celebrations. The key rule is to not show up empty-handed, as evidenced by Janice Fields, who is stocking up on water, drinks, and outfits for her kids. Roberta Bell and other shoppers are planning barbecues featuring chicken, ribs, and steaks, emphasizing the importance of spending time with family. The long weekend allows for relaxation and catching up on chores. Importantly, many take this time to remember and honor those who have served, with heartfelt prayers and support for veterans and fallen soldiers.
