What must be kept alive is the spirit of the days on the calender that used to mean something very special to this country. All of the fallen comrades who have given the lives or have been harmed for serving their country with honor and sacrifice.
the commercialization of any holiday, but especially the ones that honor our soldiers or freedom is a complete disgrace.
YUP! I know that I'll be running around all the stores looking for that 15% savings on Memorial Day day. NOT!
There is a great opportunity have these days to have significance again... but will there really be a shift from buy, buy, buy to patriotism in the the long term??
