I never said that I hated anyone I just dont like the sales thing to me it is different because Memorial Day is supposed to honor those that died fighting for this country and having a sale on such a day overshadows the meaning.The sacrifice that military members must make especially today is a very unfair burden I'll stand with them rather than with someone that wants to go shopping on a particular day.You'd think maybe I should spend some time with my friends and family at home or on a lake or something because a lot of people died so that I can and the people in the military spend months and years away form their friends and family perhaps for one day I'll enjoy being with my family rather than buying stuff that I do not need that is made in China.

I bother because I dont agree with it even if I cant win I'll stand up for what I believe in.You ever see those Nazi photos where they are about to hang the partisans and the one man has huge smile on his face because even though he is about to die he is happy to have fought the Nazis? That guy has my personalty.

Salute to all those who have served and continue to ... I too am one of the weird ones like many here who do remember all of our service persons year round not just this day. Thank You so much... does not even come close to what I owe you...but thank you.

You weren't the only one I was addressing.

And that's a good thing. Standing up to tyrrany is a good thing. I just don't see people looking for yet another opportunity to make a buck as tyrrany. Sad and stupid, sure, but to me it's like banging your head against a wall for nothing. They don't care, and no one can make them. Still, that's just my opinion, for what little it's worth.

Remembering the fallen, and giving respect and care for the veterans especially when disabled, is good and necessary.

BUT I wonder why no one (or not much) do not want to remember what lead to those being killed, maimed or suffering from PTSD.
e.g. in Iraq:
Why never question them, or make them pay ?

to all those who have served, and those who are still serving.
