Memorial Day Definition: a three-day holiday. A time of sales. Original meaning forgotten. Dwindling connections to the past. 50% off. Arms and legs off. Honey, spray some OFF on my arms, the mosquitos are murder this year. Unofficial start of summer. Hamburgers on the grill. Red poppies on lapels. Broken hearts. Busted lives. Heroes and villians. Telegrams from the War Dept. Loss of loved ones. Zero percent financing on selected vehicles. Zero percent left of my ancestor. My shell-shocked uncle. Those who never returned. Buy one get one free. Nothing is free.

Dave, You're right, while I'm having a BBQ an IED will be exploding on the other side of the world...Rummy says "we'll have to stay in Iraq for another 12 years" Who am I to argue with such a genius? Please pass the catsup...
