Just a reminder on Memorial Day weekend [View all]

This Holiday is meant to respect the men and women who died in service. So, I'm asking, respectfully, that the "thanks for your service" and reunion posts be held back until Veterans day.

Please let us honor our war dead on the day set aside to honor our dead.

Honor our living veterans on Veterans Day in a couple months, please stop mixing it up.

I know - Daddy and Mommy coming home videos are awesome, but this weekend?

They just amount to a whitewash of the cost of war and do not honor our war dead.

RIP Uncle Robert, we still remember.
