There is a moron who posted the below on Facebook:
On its own, I don't have an issue with that. But this guy is a moron for the following: He is an avid supporter of a politician who mocks POWs, those who have died in combat, and others who have served as "suckers," "losers," and "not heroes." He is an avid supporter of a politican who had not one, not two, not three, not four, but five bogus deferments to dodge military service. He is an avid supporter of a politician who refuses to go to honorary events that all presidents attend for those who have fallen. He is an avid supporter of a politician whose family posts the type of tweet I posted earlier.
This Facebook poster is a fraud. He posts these things on Facebook, which are contrary to his real feelings, because he has work colleagues and his bosses on there who follow him. So he has to post bogus things like this while not showing his true feelings - his support of a politician who acts completely opposite of what his Facebook post supports. We've all worked with people like that before: yes men and phonies who act and say the opposite in front of their boss than how they really feel.
The phrase "Happy Memorial Day" has always felt awkward to me. When I contemplate its meaning, I struggle to find the "happy" aspect, especially considering the sacrifices made by countless soldiers. This sentiment deepens whenever I see the "POW|MIA" flag with its somber silhouette of a soldier. Each time I see an elderly veteran in uniform, I wonder about their experiences and the hardships they've faced. Witnessing these individuals tear up during Military Taps is truly poignant.
I never served in the military, and part of me will always feel a sense of inadequacy because of it, particularly on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. No matter what I do, it feels insignificant compared to the contributions of those who served.
I want to express my thanks to all veterans, acknowledging that our nation often falls short in appreciating your sacrifices.![]()
