So today's Decoration Day. I heard they were calling it something different, now, but I forget what. And that's the thing about remembering, is that once you stop it's hard to even figure out the shape of what it is you forgot.

But- there's gotta be a parade or something, right? I think I better watch, at least. I'm prob'ly supposed to.

Well, where's it s'posed to be? Seems like the big one's down in Washington.

Yeah, but I'm sure there's stuff going down in the City, too. Or, uh, I think, anyway.

[ Yeah, Peter's never been to a memorial day parade in his life. ]

You could check the papers. That might be what I'd do.

It's Memorial Day now.

[deadthenred]

Right. I should've guessed, I've heard people call it that before.

[queenofcantstfu]

I don't know that it's much of a parade holiday.

[deadthenred]

You'd maybe think that, but it's a tradition. They held it every year when I lived back in Ohio. Which was only for the one year, but cripes, they were proud of it.

it's fine!! though bucky always replies voice b/c text is hard with one hand

[deadthenred]

It's about remembering soldiers who died in war.

[deadthenred]

I dunno what I'd decorate a room with, anyway, if you wanna know the truth.

It's called Memorial Day now.

voice

[deadthenred]

So I'm hearing.

I've decided I ain't gonna dwell on the irony of forgetting Memorial Day.

voice

[smartassery]

The only reason I ever remembered it was because I sometimes got a day off of work.

voice

[deadthenred]

Hang, they give you the day off?

It is one of the most important dates of the year, isn't it? A pity I cannot observe it in person. Do let me know how the parade is.

Aye-aye, Captain Fettbauch.

All C.O.'s are the same, y'know.
