Amen. But please let us remember that Memorial Day is reserved for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, those who gave their lives to preserve or even acquire the freedom we enjoy. Veteran's Day is the day we acknowledge the ones who served but survived. I am a veteran myself, and am proud to be acknowledged on Veterans Day, but feel that Memorial Day should belong solely to those that did not survive their service. To me there is a huge difference. Remember the fallen and the difficulties and pain their families were (and are) subjected to, today is the day to do that. To those that survived their service, the eleventh day of the eleventh month is your day, Memorial Day is for those that never returned to their loved ones. Sorry, sore subject. We worry about the commercialization of Christmas(I doubt God is surprised), what has happened to Memorial Day, I fear that the sacrifices of the fallen are not best remembered by a barbeque, car sale, or whatever. I just wish that the events would distinguish between the two.
