Thanks to all that have served, are serving now or will serve.
You got your holidays all fucked up. This isn’t for those that served. This is for brothers that never came home. Definitely not a happy day for us that have served.
I don’t begrudge anyone that says “Happy”. It’s a day to celebrate their lives. Doesn’t have to be somber and celebrating isn’t disrespectful
I don’t either. I explain to them what the significance of today is. There is a portion of our population that has no idea what Memorial Day means. Quite sad if you ask me.

Yep. I was sitting around the fire last night with friends and family having a drink and making s'mores with the kids and grandkids and this was brought up in the form of a question to the teenagers there. They had an idea it was for veterans and I said it was for the veterans that didn't make it back. I still remember the three Marines who were killed in training and other accidents in the two different units I served in during my 6 years in, here's to you and your loved ones.
