And I had someone unfriend me on FB because I posted the following on their page.  (After they wished everyone a Happy Memorial Day and thanked those veterans of WWII, Korea and Vietnam that welcomed him home from DS/DS.)

It's pretty bad when my U.S. Representative doesn't seem to know what Memorial Day is about.

It's even worse (if worse be possible) when a veteran doesn't know what Memorial Day is about.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

It's been a while, but I don't remember being taught anything about the various holidays at any time in my military service.

The radio stations here kept wishing everyone a happy memorial day.
I got the opportunity to set a few people straight, including a friend's kids who thought the distinction was pretty cool.
