Memorial Day is for the dead, not the living.

Edit - I will leave my comment, but note that the OP edited his post from Veteran’s Day appropriate to Memorial Day appropriate. It wasn't originally about the families.

I just get pissed at the generic patriotism and people thanking me for my service on Memorial Day.

I’ll be thinking of Corporal Chad Wade, 2d Battalion, 1st Marines, KIA December 1, 2010, Garmser District, Helmand Province, Afghanistan.


These young men understood it:

I’ll also be thinking of Thomas Lamont, after whom the art gallery at my boarding school was named. My school’s motto was “non sibi” and he embodied it.

It's to remember the folks that gave everything so we can be free. I would think in my opinion those families gave up a lot too.
