I realize since most of us don’t have to work on Memorial Day, and the fact it takes place in nice spring weather… we often take advantage of the day off to camp, relax, or do something fun.
But aside from that, isn’t it inappropriate to say “Happy Memorial Day”?
Memorial Day is meant to honor Veterans who died.
We also have Veterans Day which honors all who served, both living and dead
But Memorial Day is meant to honor veterans who have died.
Is there really anything happy about that?
Even if we physically are taking advantage of the day off of work, shouldn’t we at least acknowledge that the holiday is a solemn event, not a fun event?
Are the mothers, fathers, and spouses of those who’ve died serving…. happy about it?
