Thank you
You sound like Joe Biden
Jerk? You are. Veterans are veterans—some lived and some died. We should celebrate all veterans and through that celebration encourage citizens to join the service, not to necessarily die but to serve. Don’t disrespect veterans just because they didn’t die or didn’t serve in combat roles or whatever excuse you might want to state to diss a veteran.
Understood
I give thanks to both veterans and those who died in battle, both.
And yes, today is the day to honor those who died.
Thanks
Technically you are right, but I doubt anyone but you feels “disrespected”.
Grrrrrrrr! So many wrong. Veterans appreciate being appreciated. Armed Forces day for those serving. Memorial day for those that died in service to the country. Veterans day for veterans. Not that hard. But, funny kitten videos on tiktok.
We all wrote blank checks to the powers that be.
Let’s not forget Fedgov enshrined it as a “holiday”/3 day weekend for FEDERAL WORKERS.
my nephew ( 50’s) thinks today is a day to remember anyone you knew that is dead now.
There should be an Audie Murphy Day.
MOST DECORATED US MILITARY PERSON IN US HISTORY.
A lot of Vietnam veterans die everyday from the effects of Agent Orange. Memorial Day is also for them.
Who? Those who served and died? All I’ve heard the C-in-C blabber about is how we should remember George Floyd.
Looking at your posts on FR, you have a lot of pent-up anger. You are downright rude over and over again. Angry, maybe dangerous. Why? What has you so lathered up in anger that it drips from every comment you write on FR? Maybe you’d like to share and we can all help?
It’s also not “Happy” Memoriall Day.
Nothing wrong with telling my fellow veterans thanks for your service on memorial weekend. I always follow up with “remember those who gave all”. I say the same thing on veterans day.
You should remember, if it wasn’t for the veterans who survived, we wouldn’t know the stories of those who didn’t.
Remember that.
Absolutely correct.

So AZJoe what are you doing to honor Memorial Day Veterans today besides this little inconsequential post?

Be on the lookout for threads intended to find more ways to divide people.
Hey jerk, did you ever consider that those veterans still living LOST one of more of their fellow veteran brothers or sisters? Memorial Day is about those who made the ultimate sacrifice and I see no problem thanking a living vet on Memorial Day. You have too much time on your hands.
