I find the idea of a Memorial Day sale abhorrent. Same. Sacrifice should never be a coupon code. Don't care the "intent" - call it a May Sale then but don't latch onto Memorial Day with it. I have always wondered how the Memorial Day mattress sales came to be.

On further consideration, you guys are right. Commerce should not cover sacrifice. You’re right.

Christmas, Easter, 4th of July,?
Labor day is blue collar, so screw that. Sales galore.
Thanksgiving? Hmmmm. Does it matter who we are thanking?
It's retail trying to stay afloat at this point in time.
Buy on Friday or Saturday. Or don't.
They sure as hell have nothing to do with folks ignoring the point
and instead, focusing on beer and food. Not even family like in the past.
shootem is right, it's shouldn't cover sacrifice.
It can't.
You can use it to.
Others can.
But I'd bet Memorial Day sales on main street get some folks to the parade.
That is a plus. Some of those will pause and think about it.
Get more out of it than the "Patriotic" who stand there every year waving a
flag. Because they like the fire trucks, and being seen with the flag.
Ever notice how many do all the right stuff when The Anthem is played.
With crystal clear eyes?
And the ones standing there, hands straight down, blinking?
Rubbing their eyes later, kinda hiding it.
It's all what the individual makes of it.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

I find the idea of a Memorial Day sale abhorrent. 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. No one wants a sale INSTEAD OF recognizing the reason for Memorial day. However, most here are blue-collar firearm enthusiasts and if I can save a few bucks on hobby-related items, well I think I can find time this long weekend to click "add to cart" AS WELL AS give thanks - especially to my grandpa who was on the Seafox off of Japan in '45.

Yep, that’s my take. My 10 yo’s middle name is Evard. Evard is a made up name. The Army turned down my wife’s Uncle Jenkin’s application because he was 16. USMC had no issue taking him in but changed his name to Evard J. Near as we can tell Evard isn’t a name in any language. His mom sewed a tiny flag on his pack. It was the first flag over Guadalcanal. The flag at Pease wasn’t. I have the letter from the military telling me the accidentally “Recognized” the wrong soldier. I responded my wife’s family has held the memory but doesn’t know about the flag dedication so don’t hurt another vet’s family.
Enjoy the holiday, save a few $, take a few moments to recognize why it’s a holiday. We polarize so many things. Let’s just enjoy the freedom to do what we please with it. Buy things, sell things, grill, drink, whatever freedom feels like to you.

I’d also love to know where her uncle Jenk’s flag ended up but probably never will.

I find the idea of a Memorial Day sale abhorrent. I’m saving my righteous, uppity displeasure for sales on Juneteenftheses But if Big Red is .79 cents a 2-liter I will consider my Ox as if he is in a ditch. I will atone by sacrificing two turtles.

The dryer going out. It's 15 y/o(?). Old lady is pissed. I told her to just go buy one.
Repair man won't even look at it. Says go spend your money on a new one on sale for memorial day.
I guess there are sales? I have no idea. I don't care. Make momma happy.

Parts were ordered online. White towels have grease all over them and it sounds like a freight train coming though the house. Maybe I could fix it. But probably not.
