Well said. I cringe equally at "Memorial Day sales" and salutations of "Happy Memorial Day!".
It seems that most of America has either confused or conflated Memorial Day and Veterans Day...or suffer from disposable, short attention span syndrome.
Even though I'm a Canadian I didn't forget my friends Charlie and Mike and all the soldiers and sailors that died for all of us. I can never forget you Charlie. You are always in my mind.
I didn't forget Sarge. I tried to post my thanks to you and Bee a few times, but was having computer issues in between enjoying some family time. As always you and all the others are always appreciated.

Either way...it's a sad reflection of our nation.

Always remember...
I didn't forget either and I never will. Wish I could say the same about the rest of the country.
I would never forget.
Big hugs, honey...
Sad, but true.
We remembered Sarge. We would never forget.
Have a terrific day. :)
