Memorial Day reflection...
Just a thought; Yesterday at church a veteran gave a short talk about Memorial Day. I was reminded that Memorial Day isn't a "holiday", but a day of remembrance. Not a day to remember/celebrate those veterans that came home, but for remembering those that didn't come home. Memorial day used to be on May 30th, but when it was moved to be a 3 day weekend it lost most of it's meaning, and became just another day off from work. I can no longer think of Memorial Day as a holiday, but as a day to reflect on what those that died did for me...

I likewise see it as a 'day of obligation' (I was born and raised Roman Catholic).

Agreed!
The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....
