This is Memorial Day weekend. A & E would have you believe it is about Roots and African American slavery. I honor all of those people of all races, colors and creeds who serve and have served in the AMERICAN military. I wish the twisted media moguls would do the same thing and stop pushing the Race Card. I suppose Obama will take the opportunity to diminish or apologize for American Veterans.
"Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.[1] The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May,[2] originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans founded in Decatur, Illinois, established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers.[3] By the 20th century, competing Union and Confederate holiday traditions, celebrated on different days, had merged, and Memorial Day eventually extended to honor all Americans who died while in the military service.[1] It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end." source Wikipedia
GOD bless America, and our veterans and remember those who died to keep us free.
