I tell ya, if one more person wishes me a happy Memorial Day, I think I'll scream. There ain't nothing happy about today. Today is a day to commemorate our 1.2 million war dead.

I can't say anything that will make things right or make things better.  But I am extremely thankful for those that fought and still fight for the lives that we have.
 
You are of course right Doc. The shame is that most folks don't understand.
 
They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them,
Or the years condemn.
At the setting of the sun 
And in the morning
We shall remember them.
 
I read that to my students every year, and it gets me right in the feels every damn time.  There's not much else can be said.
