Memorial Day. The day we remember the sacrifices of those in the Armed forces,
who gave more than they should have had to give, the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
and all our military personnel. On this day, we remember them with sincere
thanksgiving for defending our freedom. A somber day, but also a day of
parades, flag waving, and the like. A day to show your patriotism.
Oh, wait. That’s what the day used to be. Back when I was a kid. Before
it became politically incorrect to support the military. These days, there
aren’t too many parades. Sure, there’s still a few but nothing compared to what
it was a few years ago.
No, it seems these days, Memorial Day is just another holiday. A day
off work. A day of barbecues, camping, and fishing. Not that there’s anything
wrong with all of that but it would be nice to see a little patriotic pride
again. To see American flags flying from every house, to see a parade, or two,
to show that we still remember why the day was made a holiday.
It’s not fashionable to be patriotic, not politically correct. Well,
I’m not a politician so; I don’t have to be politically correct. And, I, for
one, am still proud to be an American! So, on this Memorial Day, a big THANK
YOU is in order.
And God Bless America!
