Do you believe Memorial Day is more than a Three day weekend?

Memorial DAY is for others. For me, Its every day when I remember, it's everytime I wake up at night, it's every time I see some fake BS tv show or movie IED and I remember, seeing, feeling, after the Noise, the silence and then hearing the screams ... That is my Memorial DAY .. Those "opportunities" do not wait for a single day of the year.

Absolutely. It's about remembering those who came before us, and those who served with us that made the ultimate sacrifice.

Sgt Joe LaBranche Forget the weekend. Memorial Day is for honoring and remembering our fallen brothers and sisters. A lot of us reflect on our fallen throughout the year.

To most people, it is a long weekend, and the beginning of summer.. Sad, but true. Memorial Day is so very much more.
We each owe a debt that we can not repay. A debt for our freedom, a debt for the right to say "No". My father served, My wife served, and I served. We still owe a debt. Each and every one of us. If you disagree, go outside and face toward Washington DC and shout that you deserve your freedom, just because...But shout really loud, because Arlington National Cemetery is a long long way from everywhere.

Well, most civilians celebrate this weekend a different way. They aren't thinking about VETERANS. Ex military aND retirees ARE! So, I personally consider it a 3 day. Especially Monday is important. Saturday abs Sunday does not matter to me!

It's not a 3 day weekend, it's not a few days off, it's a day to remember our fallen..... Working or not, it should be seen as a day to honor those that gave all.
