Today is Memorial Day. I unfortunately have to work today, but the family and I were able to enjoy some time together with some hamburgers and hotdogs yesterday.  It was a last minute push, but it all worked out.

We all know that today is Memorial Day and what the meaning is. What I question are the rest of the people that just celebrate it because it is a day off from work.  Do those people that never have served in the military do they look at today for its true meaning or do they just use it as an excuse to get off work? To me, its close to the "Support the Troops" slogan you always here. People say they support the troops, but in what ways do they actually support the troops.  Supporting the troops isn't protesting to bring the troops home, doing that only degrades morale while troops are deployed, basically boosting morale for the enemy...but these actions are done because people "support the troops".

Just a little something to think about during this holiday.
