I seem to remember a number of office workers, businessmen and flight attendants killed on 9/11. Their deaths are not diminished by not including them in Memorial Day tributes.

Memorial Day is specifically for those killed in military action. Sorry. That's just the way it is.

Again. No disrespect meant to police officers and firefighters.

I think the Monsignor was working on the thesis that police and fire fighters, medical crews with an ambulance all deserve our respect and honor.

Just recently a guard patrolling a housing development was killed. To me, his grieving family and his soul are important too.
