I am only 29, but am saddened by people not knowing what memorial day is all about. I hear people advertising sales.... wishing me a great holiday.... planning weekend vacations or b-b-q's.
My youngest is a little young to get the full effect, but I will have him think about the men and women who have been effected by war. A moment of silence.
I thought that 9-11 would have made us more patriotic during this holiday. Instead, it is just a marketing tactic or a day off of work.
I, for one will remember, and honor.
