To: Dusty Road

Thank you.

I will always consider the source for such commentary.

You speak from combat experience, and I agree with you in respect to your happiness as a Veteran.

But my beef is with those who use the word “Happy” out of pure ignorance. “Happy” in respect to a holiday, for these people, is the same as saying “Happy Birthday,” “Happy Anniversary,” “Happy New Year,” etc.

It’s a thin line, I admit.

But I wish promoters, webmasters, administrators would just think a little before they type.

I will give your reply (thank you) more weight because of your status as a combat veteran, and I will certainly reconsider.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service and sacrifice.

God Bless you

Am well aware of the meaning of "to commemorate," "to observe," etc. - but what alternative to "Happy Memorial Day" do you propose?

Fill in the blank: "......... Memorial Day!"

Regards,
