OK, you asked for it. I know you meant well. You just used a bad combination of words, and for that you get to pay the price.
"Happy" Memorial Day?
Happy?
There is what has turned into an annual rant I go into when anybody wishes me a "Happy" Memorial Day. It involves a lot of questions about just what they intend for me to be happy about, as opposed to those things I am eternally grateful for because of the supreme sacrifices made by those we are supposed to be honoring during the Memorial Day holiday.
I am not happy about the white sales, the car sales, the mattress sales, the home & garden sales, or any other commercialization of the day. I am not happy about all the new movies holding their openings over the weekend
set aside to remember those who gave their lives so we could go shopping and sit in air conditioned comfort being entertained by Hollywood sycophants who completely disagree with the values and morals of those in whose honor
we are supposed to be taking time off from our jobs and other activities.
"Happy" Memorial Day? No, not on my watch. On this one day I will accept the offering of someone wishing me a "Blessed" Memorial Day, for I know I am truly blessed by the sacrifices made on my behalf by those who I will
never know but who I hold in the highest honor.
Thank you for reading my rant. I hope you understand why I rant.
stay safe.
