But as they're civilians, I cut them a lot of slack. If the moment and the circumstances seem right, I'll try to educate them.<br /><br />I told one "Happy Memorial Day" type the other day that it was okay for him, as a civilian, to be "happy" on that day.<br /><br />For me, it's a day where we who served in the military remember our dead.<br /><br />He seemed, confused.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-67255563419171846132014-05-26T18:39:27.966-07:002014-05-26T18:39:27.966-07:00Nice post remembering our fallen, not that I thoug...Nice post remembering our fallen, not that I thought you would forget what this day is about. My neighborhood has a parade every year to celebrate Memorial Day. An anchor from a local TV network saw my veteran-themed tee-shirt and asked me what I thought about the parade and if I thought it was a nice way to remember those who have served. I'm not sure she understood that Memorial Day is to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, not our veterans. I was polite and said that I always appreciate people thanking me for my service, but I always try to remind people that that's what Veteran's day is for, and for us not to forget our fallen servicemen and women.
