Memorial Day.
When did it transform from a day to remember our soldiers into a day where people lay on their back yard and have barbecues, then get drunk?
It sickens me that patriotism and supporting our troops has degenerated into this.
Thank you, Grandpa Wilder, for not letting Hitler kill off my Great Grandfather Baruth during the "Racial Cleansing" of WW2, because without both of you, I would not be here. Thank you, Blake, Ryan, Sam, Toby, and countless others who are or have been in Iraq, helping a nation that doesn't give two shits about me, but thank you for killing off people so that I feel better about 9/11.
Me? I remembered my relatives and friends who fought in foreign wars by hooking up my computer to my best friend's, and killing over 800 pixilated Nazis.
