Memorial Day is not about grilling hamburgers. It is about thinking of those soldiers who went to Europe in World War 1 to fight and die in the trenches defending a foreign country from tyranny.
Memorial Day is not about watching sports like the Indy 500 or baseball. It is to honor those who died at Normandy or on beaches throughout the Pacific fighting fascism.
Memorial Day is not about getting a day off work. It is about casting one's mind to those who left America to Korea or Vietnam to fight communism, never to return.
Memorial Day is not an opportunity to protest or to disrespect the United States. It is a time to take into account the men and women who gave their lives to protect those rights.
This year we shouldn't thank a veteran for their service. The day for that comes in November.
This year don't say "Happy Memorial Day." Memorial Day is a solemn day for honor and reflection. Instead lets say "Remember our fallen heroes." Every single one of them who gave their life in defense of this country and its ideals is truly a hero in my view.
