Today is Memorial Day. The day where we honor the men and women in uniform, past and present who died for us. Service members who died so we could do everything from worship who, when, and where we want to giving us the freedom to call those same Service Members "baby killers".
Take some time. Honor those people. I've got news for you: If you are either barbecuing, or loading up the gas guzzler with a "Support the Troops" magnet on it and taking a weekend trip you aren't observing Memorial Day. In fact you're celebrating a day off from work, and that's about it.
Go to a parade, go to a cemetery, or go to a ceremony. Show the people that are important on this day, the Veterans, both living and dead that you do care. Our living Veterans, who have also sacrificed for us, should not be the only one paying homage to those who sacrificed the most.
They don't ask for much. Take a few hours out of one single day of your oh so important life to show that you care. That's all they want. That's all they ask for.
