| (not the table at Home Depot) |
As I entered, there was a table set up with one place-setting and a folded American Flag. I recognized its significance and paused to honor it. It's called the Missing Man Table.
This made me wonder how many people passing it did recognize it and what, if anything, is taught in Richland 2 schools about the importance of Memorial Day.
Honoring our Veterans (all of them) has declined in the past 50 years.
When I was 28, I learned what not to say about Memorial Day. I was in the life insurance business and had taken an client to an exam at a doctor's office on the Friday before the Memorial Day week-end.
As we left the doctor's office, I said, "Have a nice week-end." That doctor's expression told me I had said something out-of-order, and I have thought about it every year since.
Don't say "Happy Memorial Day" or "Have a nice week-end." It should be a somber time to think and to remember what the holiday is. It is to honor those who died in service, so that we can have the freedoms that we have.
The Left would have us lose those freedoms. That is NOT going to happen.
