We live in a country where it is politically incorrect to publicly say, “Happy Christmas.” Whether we agree with it or not, as good citizens, we abide by that doctrine. We have just had Memorial Day Weekend and although I didn’t travel, choosing to have a relaxing weekend near to home, I was out and about at Starbucks, restaurants, etc. On no fewer than six occasions I had to listen to somebody saying to me, “You have a great Memorial Day Weekend.”
Did any of these folk stop and think what they were saying? Let’s all have a great weekend because millions of people in our armed forces have died for us!!! There has to be something wrong with this logic. I’m all for holidays. I’m all for the Memorial Day concept of respect and remembrance.
But to link it together with let’s all have a great time is, in my view, the biggest insult to those who have died ITHOE.
Someone please tell me I have got this wrong!!
