It's odd to say, "Happy Memorial Day," or to commemorate the day by having a big sale on Nissans, beds or chaises longues.
The fact is, Memorial Day is the holiday set up for remembering and honoring persons who have died while serving in the United States armed services.
That being said, today isn't the day to salute surviving veterans (that's Veterans' Day) or currently serving soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen and women and Coast guard personnel (that's Armed Forces Day).
I think it's important to pay homage to the people who gave up their lives to make sure our lives continue as they have. That's today; that's Memorial Day.
God bless all of them.
