Don't take this the wrong way, but what is your major concern with a human being recognizing another human being for a job/sacrifice/career, no matter the "day"?

Maybe I am too OCD to appreciate the gratitude given to the living on Memorial Day. The Devil is in the details though and I'm not sure I can accurately explain why I feel the way that I do.

There is no reason why one couldnt use a proper delivery to thank the fallen and the veterans in one setting. However, making a thread on Memorial Day titled" Thank You Vets for Serving" and barely mentioning the fallen really isn't sufficient when the purpose of the holiday is narrowly focused on the fallen.
