Sadly, to most Americans it is just a day to observe hamburgers on a grill.
Memorial Day is NOT the day to recognize veterans for their service.
That’s what Veterans Day is for.
And DON’T go round wishing people a “Happy Memorial Day” as Trump did earlier.
“...Sadly, to most Americans it is just a day to observe hamburgers on a grill....”
Yep.
The wife and I attended our local veterans-sponsored Memorial Day service this morning. There were maybe a hundred or so folks in attendance. The guest speaker called us out by age group to prove a point. There were no attendees under the age of 35 present. NONE!!! Those in attendence were all middle-aged or elderly white, Christian couples. Says a lot about how our democgraphics, and attitude, have radically changed in such a short time...
