I kinda think all those fallen heroes would say “thanks for the day of rememberance” but would add “go ahead and enjoy the ballgames,barbecue’s and day off cause those are some of the reasons we paid the ultimate price in the first place” !!!
Man you totally nailed it. I for one am sick of these articles every Memorial Day chastizing Americans about cookouts, going camping, spending time with family and friends, and so on.
There's no doubt in my mind that almost everyone on Memorial Day thinks about those who died. I'm not saying we should ignore them, but there's no need to grieve the entire day either.
