Happy?? Memorial Day. Remembering our war dead, happy?
Yes. Happy. As a vet with lost friends and family, it is a resounding yes. Be happy.
Happy we continue to live in the greatest country on earth. Happy that although war is tragic, it is sometimes necessary, and our freedoms have been protected from those who would destroy it.
You don't have to agree with war to remember our troops going back to the Revolutionary War. Everything we enjoy, from free speech to RVing, clean water to a decent burger joint, good medical care to relative safety within our borders.....it was all bought and paid for with the sacrifices of our brave men and women in the military. Memorial Day is about remembering those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. It's ok to be happy about it. PROUD of it.
Nothing is perfect. But this country is about as close as it gets because of our troops who gave it all. Rejoice in that.
Happy Memorial Day everyone. Semper Fi
