Just my own opinion, but Memorial Day is becoming like Veterans Day. Commercialized. How many sales are there for Memorial Day? What the fuck does a mattress have to do with today? Maybe it's because many (most) of us on this board live Memorial Day every day, but the repetitive tone on this day is simply just talking points. Widows, widowers, children, Mom's, Dad's, brothers and sisters live this day everyday. What difference does one day make to them? The only difference being that others take time out off their day to reach out to them and pay respect. Every moment of their lives are impacted by the death of their loved one, especially in the case of children. One Marine I know got to come home from Afghanistan to see his son born. He was home for two weeks and then had to go right back to his brothers waiting for him down range. With two weeks to go on his deployment he was killed. His youngest son will have no memories of his father that his other children and step child will. One day a year is simply nothing to these families. Many veterans go to bed every night reliving that scene. What difference does one day make? For every one I know who was killed or took their own life, they would not want us to sulk today, but rather just enjoy a long weekend. We live Memorial Day every day.
It got pretty dusty in here all of the sudden.
