A True Memorial
by Charley Reese
*** begin quote ***
OK, here is my post-Memorial Day gripe. Memorial Day is not the Fourth of July, Flag Day, Armed Forces Day or Veterans Day. It is a day to remember the war dead. You don’t do that with picnics, brass bands, parades, pompous speeches and hype for the current war. “Memorial” and “celebration” are not synonyms. The day was intended for visiting cemeteries, not beaches or amusement parks.
*** end quote ***
I agree. Let’s cut the charade. Turn Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and all the days back into regular days. We don’t need to honor anyone. We’re not serious about it. Why give the gangsters that put us in, and keep us in, these holes a day off.
In fact, I thing that every politician should be forced to show up at their desk every day until we have all our troops back inside the fifty states!
Make that a requirement and they’d all be home by Saturday. Even if you did it on a Friday.
What a joke!
