Heard a radio ad that started "Memorial Day (weekend)--it's a time for fun, and for getting projects done around the house." Then it went into a spiel for some home improvement store. That's right folks, it's only about fun and home improvement. Evidently the bit about honoring the war dead, decorating graves of loved ones (like my mom, taken away by breast cancer when I was 12)-- well, I guess that's so over-rated, eh?
Naah, fire up the grille and get some work done around the house. Next they'll change the name of the holiday to Summer Kickoff Weekend. Name of the advertiser? Didn't really hear; was too busy shaking my head.
Remember those who preserved our freedom, and those in our own lives who are no longer here...
The younger generation has no clue as to how much sacrifice has been made for their freedom. And between liberal indoctrination in schools and a president who doesn’t give a damm, they won’t either.
agreed!
