Every Memorial Day and Veteran's Day I always post something as a reminder of the day, only to find replies of ignorance coming back. This one is no different. There were 2 posts concerning Memorial Day, and both barly recieved any replies. Usually when posting someone has something inflamatory or political to say, or like in this case just plain stupid.
I find it amazing that some of the most outspoken voices do not even know the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. Or what yesterday should have ment to someone living in Europe like you Saturos. Sometimes its better to just keep quiet. Certainly not an event for your happy face smiles and stupid comments. To most people yesterday was just a day off work or school, and why doesn;t even cross their minds, not to mention a second of deep thought about it. Its easy to dismiss what yesterday ment to many families, or the ones who came home knowing buddies didn't, when you are on the sidelines. Just another holiday off to most people, most having no idea what the day means.
