We have many holidays which we dedicate to some memorable person or event. Memorial Day. Mothers' and Fathers' days, the Fourth of July, 9/11, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving and finally, CHRISTMAS DAY. Somehow, the full meaning of most of them has been lost to younger generations because no one tells them about the reasons why we celebrate them. To them, it is a day off from school or a day at the Mall or movies.
There are those too, who purposely attempt to obscure the significance of these holidays. Now, why would anyone do that? These ne'er do wells, want to bring us down to mediocrity because "it's not fair" to be "exceptional". We ARE exceptional because we ARE fair. Everyone has a chance to excel in whatever field they want to.
We need these "memorial days" so we do not forget what got us to where we are. We remember the good and the bad. We remember most those brave souls who built and protect this country of ours.
