I appreciate the sentiments of Memorial Day. And I do Honor all of those who died in service to our nation.
The thing is, around here, I do not think anybody knows the true meaning of the Observance. Just about anyone I know thinks the day is meant to honor any family member buried.
People flock to our local cemeteries to spruce, clean, and decorate the graves of every passed family member. And 90% of the deceased never saw a day of service.
