Amen Chris Pratt. Very well said.

You Are Not Forgotten!

Highly doubt it and off topic. This is a union issue not a current event. Not in a Memorial Day thread. Beat it @Barney.

For those that served and died, thank you. For those that are injecting political ideology into this you’re idiots. These soldiers died for their country then and now. Quit dividing and start living.

I'm planting flags at the local vet cemetery on a day that's not Memorial Day, and I'm doing that because I'm being forced to work memorial day.

And if you don't like me mentioning it, you can take a bit wet bite out of my behind.

They fired all the people who didn't show up?

They won on the challenged writeups, yes. And that's what winning is.

Many skip anyway. But you're plainly wrong. It's been fought, and lost.

One of us worked memorial day and one of us didn't. We'll just have to agree to disagree about which of us is "wrong" in that regard.

You're wrong in implying that it wasn't or hasn't been fought. It has, and we lost. Many don't come anyway. That's cool.

I choose to take the holiday pay, and then take thursday/friday off. Double the days, none of the hassle.

Each one of these dudes is a national treasure, love just sitting there listening to hours of their stories and life.

I grew up with uncles that served in WW2. All theaters, Navy, Army, Air Corp. Unbelievable stories. I feel blessed to have heard them.

I had family that served but I was too young to fully appreciate them, like toddler age, when they started passing away. What I’d give to talk to my dead relatives that served in WW2 combat.

I wish the interviewer was better, guy is kind of stupid and asks dumb questions a lot, but these guys stories more than make up for it.

It was awesome. Who had to parachute, who got sunk and spent 2 days in the Mediterranean, another’s destroyer was listed as missing. I pestered them all the time.

This one has been my favorite.
Something heart warming about a bunch of young Americans being led in psalm 23 before d-day.

Imagine being led in this while seeing Normandy background. That’s some stone cold .

My apologies to Operational needs for accidentally deleting this thread while changing the year in the title.

To me this is the most important holiday of the year and one of the few worth recognizing. And I, like millions of others today, am going to be spending time with my family, grilling burgers, and having fun on our day off. But the one thing I try to do is make sure my children understand why they're not in school and why their parents aren't at work.

I asked my kids, like I do every year, why we have today off, and this year was the first year I got a response that was something I wanted to hear. My youngest said "because of those in the army that died in wars". Yeah, I had to explain a little more in detail about who and why, but it was the first year I didn't get back: "I don't know". I'm glad they're at least starting to realize why we get to have today as a family.
