Memorial Day 2022

I can only see it as a sad day in remembrance of all The Fallen.

I have seen several comments wishing us a Happy Memorial Day. As a Korean War veteran and the wife of a fallen VietNam AF pilot, I am saddened that anyone feels that this is a happy day. Please watch this short video and realize why it is not. Thank you.

I like what someone else posted about Memorial Day-to take some time out of the day to remember the fallen.

My post was not meant or intended to offend anyone. It was just a greeting. I have plenty of sad days remembering those I've lost too. I'm on antidepressants for severe depression from what my life has done to me. I appreciate that I do not feel bad today.

No offense intended. I did take time out to remember the fallen. The rest of the day I'm aiming for feeling better today.

PS. I'm sorry for your loss.

@JonSR77 That movie looks really sad. If I ever think I can handle it, I'll look into it. Can't take anymore right now. Thanks for posting.

I wrote the title down and I also like Kevin Bacon.

The big city near me has the Memorial Day events here. Very inspiring.

Oh, it is extremely sad. It is very much like going to a funeral. If those kinds of emotions are difficult, I would avoid it.

I remember going to the Vietnam Wall in DC. That felt like going to a funeral.
