Memorial day is a day in which we remember those that have given their lives
to protect ourselves and our friends from those who would take away freedom
and impose themselves upon us, such as our fallen from WW 1 and 2,
Korea,Viet Nam. Basicly it a a day of thanks for the ones that have given
all that they have so that the rest of us can live free. As opposed to
veterans day, which is to thank all of our veterans, both living and not
that have served in our armed forces. As for it being like the Nuremburg
rallies in Germany in the '30s and '40s as another individual has intimated,
that I suppose is entirely up to what you believe. I'll respect his right
to his opinion, but I sure dont give his opinion much respect.....
