Memorial Day
We live in a country that indulges in a lot of pomp and celebration around veterans both dead and alive. If you've gone to any major league baseball game, or NFL contest in the past ten years you know what I'm talking about. Celebrating veterans and waving the flag is a national pastime. Funding veterans programs, helping combat vets with PTSD...not so much. We like the idea of veterans, not the bum veterans grubbing for services.
