The parades have meaning for those who want them to have meaning, but instead of gawking at a float I'd much rather show my appreciation by donating time or money to veterans associations, or learning more about the members of my family who served and died in the armed forces. But in all honesty, these are things I believe I should be thinking about every day. The holiday shouldn't be an excuse to finally pay attention to our national history.
I know I'd rather it not be another work day, simply because I am lazy. Although the idea of vacation shifts was initially appealing to me, I think it would be somewhat annoying when your best friend has Friday off and you get Monday off instead or some such situation.
And in regards to the Wal-Mart parking lot... your Wal-Mart is open?
