Happy Memorial Day to everyone. On a break from BBQing.

Not to be "that guy", but isn't Memorial Day more of a solemn holiday rather than a "happy" one?

That's not exactly what I meant... I guess let's just stick with "happy" for now.

I get where you're coming from Kabukiman. Its a 2 sided coin for sure. Solemn that we need the great sacrifices that were and will continue to need, but happy that there have been and continue to be better men and women than myself to protect and fight for it.
Thanks to anyone out there who have committed a chunk of their life defending this nation! Myself, I was always too selfish a person to sign up and serve, but my special thanks to my 2 grandfathers (whom passed before I was born) my father and my brother who all have served! Bette rinclude my father and brother in law too!

It's a solemn occaission but those lives were given to protect our happiness. Observing what is painful about it is important, but celebrating what they fought for is as important.
And it isn't a day to honor all who have served. That is what Veteran's Day is for. Memorial Day is for remembering those who no longer live, whether they died fighting, or after the fighting was done. It is a day to honor those soldiers who have fallen.
But I don't think they'd be honored by mourning. As long as people don't forget why it's a holiday, all is well and good.

that doesn't quite have a ring to it
I doubt even Hallmark could make that one work!
