Thank you my man. I'm burned to a crisp, and I surely will. My daughter and 2 grand kids are over. Went to the Indians game and watched them lose, got sun burned and they are on the way over. Have a great one.

I came back. Some who served with me did not. That's a big reason why I get upset about name calling over a damn GAME!

I've always found it weird saying "Happy" Memorial Day . It's really not about happy. It is a day set aside to honor and remember the fallen men and women who served.
That's like saying Happy Good Friday.
The irony of this article is how the title conflicts to what this Marine is saying in the very same article:
“It kills me when people say, ‘Happy Memorial Day.’ People’s husbands were killed, and the radio commercials are ‘Get a deal on Memorial Day!’ People get the time off, and that’s cool. People partying, all that stuff. Do those things – but know the reason why that day is. We are all Americans.”
The only problem after having posted all that is what is an alternative greeting? I don't think there is one.
Whats also weird is thanking vets and active duty people for their service on Memorial Day.
I am also a vet, please don't thank me. This day is not for me.
Veterans Day is.

Nah. It means be happy and remember people who died giving there lives. My brother and quite a few friends are among them.

That picture is -really- a heartbreak.
This is also a beautiful video.

Happy Memorial Day to all the vets here and elsewhere.

My brother in law died while serving in the fight against terrorism. Semper Fi. He was setting up on top of a roof and slipped. Fell three stories. It was a sad day for all of us and he was a good guy. Huge Chiefs fan too. We always talked football at family outings and one day I got an Arizona Cardinal yearbook in the mail. He was somewhere an found it and bought it and mailed it to me. He always said I was the only Cards fan he ever knew. I told him ya there's a couple of us.

Who takes a picture of someone grieving like that? It would never remotely cross my mind to do that.

I think it's a pretty powerful photo tbh
Just seeing thousands of headstones can make you forget that all of those people have families grieving them.

Yes its a powerful photo but i hope it was taken and released with the poor girls consent.
-
Otherwise its an assholish move worthy of a beating

is there any thread you won't ruin by bitching about something, Cleve?

but you don't know, you are manufacturing a controversy where is none,
with a convenient hypothetical.
It take away from the thread. I'm sure someone that close wasn't the paparozzi.
Give it a rest, already.
