On this May 31st, we in the United States of America celebrate Memorial Day. It is odd people say we celebrate the holiday, based on what Memorial Day is all about. As a kid I would always get Memorial Day and Veterans Day confused. Veterans Day a chance to say thank you to anyone who served our country, and Memorial Day to pay respect to those who laid their life down for the country.
I never was able to distinguish the two as a youngster.
Nonetheless, as these holidays essentially become just another three day weekend here in the USA, this Memorial Day hits this BTSC editor a little different.
