...but it will be observed on Monday May 29th this year so we can have a long weekend. That seems more than a bit selfishto me, but I am an old fool.
Memorial Day is not about showing appreciation for the veterans around us. That should be done every other day of the year.
Memorial Day is supposed to be the day we honor our war dead, both those who died while in service to our country and those who died after their service ended.
My suggestion? Go to a cemetery and say a prayer for the soul of each man whose grave is marked by the Stars and Stripes.
