Default Memorial day USA

As I stated, I really just don't like the fact that
there are those who
wish to politicize Memorial Day, an American holiday,
that honors our
war dead. These people deserve to be respected, remembered,
and
honored. This has nothing to do with someone in another
country. It has
nothing to do with those who do not wish to honor them.
They are free
to be ungrateful and ignore the day. That's the freedom
we have. It was
paid for by the blood of the men and women we honor
on this day. It has
nothing to do whatsoever with George W. Bush nor how
the world feels
about his decision to invade Iraq. When someone like
Jim Culp types a
message honoring these people, it galls me that someone
has the nerve
to jump on him for it. The American soldiers that gave
all for their
country and to liberate others deserve to be recognized,
and respected.
DO NOT politicize their day!

That was my message. I stand behind it.
