Actually, no. Memorial Day is the day we honor those that perished while in military service to the country. It's the day we honor those that literally gave all they have to give. They deserve our respect and appreciation.

I don't think so. I also don't think that this is the thread to get silly. There are other threads where that can be accomplished. Let's try and keep this one clean seeing the occasion for which it was started.

Thank You Happy Bunny for starting this Thread! This day is a special day for the men and women who have fought and died for our freedom.

Memorial Day formerly occurred on May 30, and some, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), advocate returning to this fixed date, although the significance of the date is tenuous. The VFW stated in a 2002 Memorial Day Address, "Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed a lot to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day."[1] Hawaii's Senator Daniel Inouye, a World War II veteran, has repeatedly introduced measures to return Memorial Day to its traditional day since 1987.

This was written by a coworker last year:

For those who have gone to war

For those who have died

For those who allow us to live the American life

For those who sacrifice

For those who have suffered

For those who dedicate their lives for their fellow brother

For those who stand proud

For those who guard our borders

For those who take the weight of our freedom on your shoulders

For those who serve our nation

Because they choose to do so

For millions of Amercians whom you will never even know

For you I take this moment

To say this heart felt prayer

For thanking God that you stand and fight and for being over there

Today we celebrate you

And all that you give

It's truly because of you

That we are free to live.
