Memorial Day

[Syhto]

I know that this is an American holiday, but more than just American lives have been lost in past wars. And I know it's supposed to be for WWI and the civil war. w/e I'm surprised no one made a thread about this, but.

My father has awards for navy service, my grandfather has 3 purple hearts from vietnam, my great uncle has awards for military service during vietnam. My great grandfather died in the second world war. My great great grandmother was a nurse during world war II, and was in two separate bombings.

My mother's grandfather's side fought in the civil war, and a lot of them were badly injured. Well, this is to you guys.

If anyone has things to say on behalf of family in the service, or about the day in general, this is the place.

No offense but this holiday isn't as exciting as Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and other holidays.

Frankly, no one gives a fudge cake about Memorial Day.


The only good part about it is that theres no school on that holiday. Thats about it?

Re: Memorial Day

Holidays aren't around to excite you, guru. I'm sorry that the pain and suffering of people fighting for your black rights in america during the civil war isn't exciting enough for you.

I'm also sorry you lack the respect to keep such opinions to yourself.

Wow. You ARE a moron...

I mean, unless you're counting Veterans, active duty soldiers, family of soldiers, family of veterans, and anyone who cares about their liberty and country in your count of "no one".

Because that count is most likely going to constitute the vast majority of our country.

Sorry for busting your bubble but I wasn't speaking in general.

When I said no one I meant on "FFR". Don't jump to conclusions. Plus, its not that I dislike the holiday but just stating an opinion. Didn't mean to break your balls man.

Saying something dumb then justifying it with, "Just exercising my freedom of speech," is like shooting yourself in the leg and saying, "Just exercising my right to bear arms."

Re: Memorial Day

Just shut up. You are the most disrespectful person on this site. I was seriously offended when I saw that first post. This holiday was meant to REMEMBER something, NOT to whine and complain because "Oh we don't do anything on this day TEEHEE ^_^"
People have DIED so that all of us can have this day; so that we can -remember- their valor in all the wars we've fought.

Why would you even say such things? You're the reason why our countries' standards are so low today; because of disrespectful, valueless douchebags like you.

Don't make fun of guru. He's a pompous asshole with a big dick. He's old enough to do it and young enough to know how to do it right.

Re: Memorial Day

I think the people that don't put too much thought into Memorial Day are people that just don't have any personal connection to war. I have a few friends from high school that went into the military but that's about it. I barely see my grandparents and they don't discuss any of that with me. I mean, I respect this day for remembrance but because I don't have any strong ties to people that died, are fighting, or fought in war, it just doesn't resonate as much with me *shrugs*
