    That’s a terrible idea. Who thinks the best way to honor those killed is to make it a holiday?

      What exactly do you think Memorial Day is? Heck it’s even an aspect of Labor Day.

        People who died for a cause, defending their country. There’s a bit of a difference to those who unexpectedly died in an terrorist attack. A holiday honoring victims? I don’t really get it.

      Right, so then what’s your take on Memorial Day?

      Some “holidays” are days of honor and remembrance, not celebration the way Independence Day (July 4th) is. Veteran’s Day honors those who signed their name on the line saying they’d lay down their lives in defense of the country. It’s not a celebration, per se, but an honor.
