Here we are again Memorial Day. I often think of the 58,000+ brothers and sisters who came home from our war to a final resting place.
It kinda irks me when I see people say have a "Happy Memorial Day", I really can't understand how they can be happy about Memorial Day.
Navy Seal Robert O'Neill, said in an opinion piece,
"Don’t wish me a happy Memorial Day. There is nothing happy about the loss of the brave men and women of our armed forces who died in combat defending America. Memorial Day is not a celebration.
Memorial Day is a time for reflection, pause, remembrance and thanksgiving for patriots who gave up their own lives to protect the lives and freedom of us all – including the freedom of generations long gone and generations yet unborn. We owe the fallen a debt so enormous that it can never be repaid.
Memorial Day is a time to honor the lives of those who would rather die than take a knee when our national anthem is played. But they will fight and die for the rights of those who kneel"
I could not have said it any better, so if someone says to you have a "Happy Memorial Day" Educate them on the true meaning of this a fine day indeed, but please no celebrations.
