I'm disgusted with my local newsragg.
Yes....as liberal as nj.com is, they had a nice selection of articles and pic’s.....I also cracked up when I saw Google this am....
They acknowledged it. They had BBQ recipes and boating tips.

You betcha we did ... West Texas is still “real America.” And we are starting to “boom” with oil production ... hope Obama does NOT get the credit!

I check out your on-line paper from time to time because I once lived in HI. I must tell you I was fairly well stunned to find NO mention of Memorial day on your online site on 28 May 12 - or if it was there it was hidden pretty well. Certainly wasn't on the front page. Considering the number of fallen who still rest at the Arizona Memorial, I find it more than a little sad there wasn't something about Memorial Day on your front page. Enjoy your freedom!
BUT yesterday the Church of God in Kingwood, PA. (a dot on the map in Southwestern Pennsylvania) had a dedication service for a memorial erected in honor of all Veterans in the local area, it was hot, large crowd about 250 and a lovely service, part out doors and part indoors and NOT once was the current presidents name mentioned nor acknowledged...yea...all branches of the military were there and the country folks were all proud..
The day was special.
There was a parade in Somerset PA. and I bet this area votes NO OBAMA...
I will always revere our fallen heroes.
When young, my folks always made sure to take us to every battlefield possible on our vacations. I remember Gettysburg in particular. We drove it during the day, and at night. At night, all was quiet and eerily so—except for the sound of a whippoorwill.
My folks had grandparents who fought in the Civil War, one on each side.
Newspapers are obsolete. They made themselves obsolete.

Dunno.
I stopped my subscription when they started putting homosexual advertising sections in it.
Mine did.
However, it also ran an editorial cartoon saying that Tea Party people are retards.
Amazing. The Boston Tea Party was held up to me as an example of brave men defying despotism. Now believing in the same principles get me called a gay (”tea bagging”) retard.
My father (1924-2003) was a 3 war Marine. I have his K Bar from Guadalcanal. I am thankful he is not here to see this.
I don’t know.My local paper is the Boston Globe...which I haven’t read since 1988.However,I’d be willing to wager that if they did it was only to point out the millions of war crimes our Armed Forces,and their individual members,have committed over our history.
Yes, someone had to explain the 700 motorcycles going though town.
I also checked on the Los Angeles area papers. All had an above the fold front page article except for a below the fold article from the Spanish language paper.
I don’t get my local paper anymore because over time it was simply printing columns from AP peppered with editorials from the dumbest liberals it could conjure. AP does not care much about American-American holidays.
