for car/truck sales. Any kind of damn sale. Get your heads out of your asses, people! A F’ing sale! It should be against the law to have a “Memorial Day sale”.
F’ing idiots! Just a continuation of the degradation of society. I hate it. This day should be a day of national grieving and love for those who gave all. Not a stupid sales opportunnity. Shame on those who use this weekend for gain. And, F YOU!!
Love to the silent. And to those still serving. I love you all.

But what may be needed to return the solemn, and even sacred, spirit back to Memorial Day is for a return to its traditional day of observance. Many feel that when Congress made the day into a three-day weekend in with the National Holiday Act of 1971, it made it all the easier for people to be distracted from the spirit and meaning of the day. As the VFW stated in its 2002 Memorial Day address: “Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed greatly to the general public’s nonchalant observance of Memorial Day.”
