Very nicely stated

Memorial Day is not just another Monday.
Memorial Day is about honoring those who paid the ultimate price in defense of our country.
Memorial Day is about celebrating the lives of those who have left us.
Memorial Day is about remembering and giving thanks.
Our present is only possible because of their past service.
We have a future... because they sacrificed theirs.
So today, I want to say thank you.

And you know I'm cool with you, but just felt you were mixing busines with pleasure, if that makes sense.
