Don't Wish Me a Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial Day ground rules:

1. Don't wish me a Happy Memorial day. There is nothing happy about brave men and women dying.

2. It's not a holiday. It's a remembrance.

3. If you want to know the true meaning, visit Arlington or your local VA, not Disneyland.

4. Don't tell me how great any one political power is. Tell me about Chesty Puller, George Patton, John Basilone, Kyle Carpenter, Mitchell Paige, Ira Hayes, and perhaps Chris Kyle, Sgt. York, Audie Murphy, Captain J. J. Carroll and Col. Hackworth.

5. Say a prayer and thank the brave men and women that never made it home for their sacrifice so that you could be living in the greatest country on the face of the earth today.
