My husband is a vet, as is his father. I always found it hard to say "Happy Memorial Day," because what is happy about men and women that have died? My mother-in-law suggested "Blessed Memorial Day," which I like. Sounds more appropriate. Thank you for your time in service. And that you for the wonderful post. Thank you for the reminder.

What has happened to this country? All military personnel and their families deserve thanks and respect.
