Don’t wish me a happy Memorial Day. There is nothing happy about the loss of the brave men and women of our armed forces who died in combat defending America. Memorial Day is not a celebration.
Memorial Day is a time for reflection, pause, remembrance and thanksgiving for patriots who gave up their own lives to protect the lives and freedom of us all – including the freedom of generations long gone and generations yet unborn. We owe the fallen a debt so enormous that it can never be repaid.
Memorial Day is a time to honor the lives of those who would rather die than take a knee when our national anthem is played. But they will fight and die for the rights of those who kneel.
This holiday is a time to think of young lives cut short, of wives and husbands turned into widows and widowers, of children growing up without a father or mother, of parents burying their children.

Yeah, but why?
What irritates me is how many people can’t seem to distinguish between Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Agree...
Never thought about it before but you are right.
Never heard the words happy and memorial day mentioned together.
He has a point; I do think some people become oblivious and just turn it into the start of pool season or boating season with no appreciation for what it is.
Don’t think who killed Bin Laden has ever been officially, verifiably promulgated.
Human nature observed; Special Ops probably would not approve.
I respect his service but once he opens his trap and decides to be a public advocate, then he is fair game. And IMHO, this guy is annoying and a pain in the arse.
