Happy Memorial Day everyone

[bflynn]

I'm a day late, but that's par for the course.

On Memorial Day, I remember my great uncle George, who was in the 3rd wave at Normandy and died a few weeks later. I recently learned it was a non battle accident, but I still don't know the details of it. Regardless, he lost his life in service and so I remember him.

Some people object to the word "happy" here. If it had been me, I would certainly not begrudge you being happy as you remembered me.

And same to you. (btw you aren't late...)

btw - perhaps "object" is too strong a word... but certainly the Memorial Day holiday is not quite the happy day of say July 4th or Christmas or New Years.
