100% this! It is disgusting to me that folks would want a discount or sale instead of recognizing the reason for Memorial Day. I refuse to utilize any sale in reference to Memorial Day unless its entire purpose is to go back toward memorial efforts.

Hmmmm.......so the wife and I drove around 250 miles with $4.00 a gallon gas visiting the graves of our lost loved ones over the last two days. We started a flag program when my grandmother died at the small country cemetery where she and my grandfather were buried 10+ years ago. We along with the community donate flags every year. To date there are almost 150 flags in that little cemetery. Now I go to take advantage of a sale and I don't know the meaning? Interesting.

The point is - the retailer should NEVER use Memorial Day as the reason for the sale. Call it "May Sale" or whatever but not Memorial Day Sale. I won't take part in a retailer riding the coattails of why we're observing this weekend to give me 10% off a mattress.
