what’s more important ... one-hundred-plus years of American tradition or giving Americans one more 3-day weekend to have a few brewskis while driving to see Yellowstone with the wife and kids?

Why, the latter, of course! :D~

I am 67 and I have never heard the term "Happy Memorial Day".

Memorial Day is supposed to be a day of quiet reflection, remembrance, tribute and rendering honors to those who have given their lives ensuring you nitwits can have the freedom to be able to take full advantage of the rights their deaths secured for you, one of which is the freedom to make ignorant statements like HAPPY Memorial Day.

I bet this guy is a real wet blanket at a funeral wake.

That's bunk. I've never hear of anyone nor have I ever seen a Hallmark Card with "Happy Memorial Day" on it.

Lord, deliver us from all this preachin'!!

When folks get to a certain age, they feel as if they've earned the right to preach at us about every conceivable subject.

I've never in my life heard the phrase "Happy Memorial Day," but I guess somebody may have said it, somewhere.

I believe Memorial Day is over. But I hope you had a happy one.

There is nothing HAPPY about Memorial Day.

So, if I take a hour, and watch the parade, and perhaps take a few moments of quiet reflection to honor those who have served our country, I still cannot be happy for the rest of the day? There are times to be somber, and there are times to be joyous, but I'm willing to bet a whole bunch of the people we are honoring on this day, would want us to hoist a beer, and have a laugh, all in their name.

Next time you buy panties, go for the XL, them Mediums are too tight.
