Memorial Day

[Imsogone]

Memorial Day weekend, in the US, is a day for barbecues and family outings. It's also supposed to be a day to remember. Who do you remember on Memorial Day?

I remember my Mother, who died 3 1/2 years ago at the age of 91. She was a WWII Navy veteran.
I remember my daughter Cristin who died 36 years ago at the age of three months. She never had a chance to be a veteran of anything.
I remember my Father, who died 23 years ago at the age of 72. He was a WWII Navy veteran.

There are others, but I guess these are the top three.

[Panzerjaeger]

I remember all the Japanese my Grandfather killed with his barehands.

[Maurepas]

I remember damning my life to this job, which I spent the entire weekend at, with little time for sleep, >_>

And I suppose, soldiers and all that...

[The Black Forrest]

I remember when it was a full holiday.

It seems to have fallen like the others as many stores, etc., are open that day.....

Careful Or I will slap a I hate the US soldiers and America Bumper sticker on your cab when your not looking.
See your tip rate go down, and possibly rocks tossed through your window rate increase.

[The Nuclear Fist]

I remeber my grandfather, Boris. Who fought for the red army during WW2. He died 6 years ago. And I remember my grandfather Alphonze, who fought for the Germans in North Africa. He died 11 years ago.

[Vitius]

I remember all of the civilians murdered by people wearing uniforms.

I remember all the people wearing uniforms murdered by 'civilians' with bombs strapped to their chest.

They wouldn't have died if they didn't invade in the first place. :3

I'm not much of a fan of smileys, but in cases such as this, the use of one is warranted:

The soldiers don't have a choice in most cases, you idiot. Besides draft, if you joined reserves, you're at risk for being sent into another country and being forced to kill who ever may be dangerous. If you want to blame someone, blame the government.

[Hahklallah]

I remember hearing that Obama isn't going to Arlington National Cemetery this memorial day, I heard hes vacationing in Chicago, worshiping the devil, and reading up on Karl Marx

[Kontor]

Sunny days with good food.

Or, in the case of the United States, blame the soldiers anyway, since it's an all-volunteer army.

Whoops.

Take the argument to another thread.

But that's... all the way over there! So far to walk.

[United Dependencies]

I have no one to remember. Only some distant relatives served in the Military.

I remember the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Coastguardsmen from days before you were born who fought and died so you could have the freedom to say things like that.

Rofl, don't kid yourself. Most American soldiers in the 20th century were drafted. They didn't "fight and die so [people] could have the freedom to say things like that." They fought because it was against the law NOT to serve, and if they didn't they'd get court martialed/imprisoned. Not to mention that it's only been more than 50 years since segregation ended, both militarily and state-side.

[Orlkjestad]

I remember my grandfather, who is a WWII vet. Sadly, he departed of old age in 2008 or 2009.
