The one that really burns me is the Veterans Day mattress sale. My dad, my father-in-law and 8 uncles served in WWII and this the way their sacrifice is honored! I was not a happy Veteran when I saw that ad.

a Sandra Fluke’s Birthday Mattress Sale would make more sense

The one that really burns me is the Veterans Day mattress sale.
I despise any company that uses any holiday as just another day to hawk their wares. Isn't it enough the SOBs and their obnoxious commercials are on TV 24/7 as it is?
But what I'm seeing (and disliking) more and more, is Veteran's Day being "celebrated" as the somber, dark day of mourning complete with Taps, wreath laying and sad speeches.
I fully understand the meaning of the 11th hour-11th-day-11th month, but I always thought Veterans Day was more to honor the living vets, and Memorial Day was to honor the dead.
