So many actually for get what Memorial Day Holiday is all about, no it is not just about partying, boating, another day off it is about remembering the brave souls that gave there lives so we all can enjoy this Holiday and this Nation. Many of our brave warriors fought on battle fields all around the world and many gave the ultimate sacrifice so we could have our freedoms of today. So this Holiday weekend please take moment and remember these brave warriors and also keep all of our warriors that have been wounded in your prayers as well.

From the beloved NY Times:
"MOST Americans know that Memorial Day is about honoring the nation's war dead. It is also a holiday devoted to department store sales, half-marathons, picnics, baseball and auto racing. But where did it begin, who created it, and why?"
Spot on swamp. Your personal opinion/experience is just as good as anyone else's on here.

I didn't make no ugly assumptions, it is a fact with many in this day and time, some cannot even tell you who the Governor or the Senators are go around and ask these young adults Dratgud since you are so intelligent and see how many correct answers you receive regarding your questions.

Looks like a lot of needless death and destruction created by the USG and it's politicians. Sorry for those affected.

No matter our feelings of why we went to war, I believe we owe the men and women who volunteered or were compelled to give their all in a sense of patriotism, a debt of gratitude and respect for their dedication. There were a few who, by their actions, perhaps do not deserve it... but by far, our men and women in the military are to be respected. A big Thank You to them this Memorial Day.
