Remember Those Who Sacrificed For Their Country

I was happy to see this editorial by Larry Olmsted.  In it, he urges,  "Let's Not Forget What Memorial Day Weekend is Really All About - The High Cost of Freedom".   I feel the same way.  It annoys me to see the connection to beach getaways and big sales, and to hear inconsiderate oafs setting off loud firecrackers after midnight. Memorial Day isn't a cause for celebration like the Fourth of July; it's a solemn time to honor our war dead.
