You are so right...it amazes me the number of people that don't know that Memorial Day is to honor the soldiers that have died and Veteran's Day is to honor all those who have served. Happy Memorial Day to you Pat.

This day is designated as Memorial Day lest we forget those that have fallen in the past so that we may live the way that we do today and in the future. As with most holidays the meaning slowly erodes away and gets forgotten as time goes by. There is an old saying "Those that do not know history are doomed to repeat it". A lot of kids these days do not have the memory to keep things alive. Take December 7th for instance, it is quickly becoming a nothing day to many.
This song says a many thanks to those that have given the ultimate sacrifice. Hell of an Amen
