Today Is Good Day To Grill

Today is a good day to grill. Well, for a lot of you it is. For me, not at all due to thunderstorms. After all, it’s Memorial Day, so grilling and cookouts are rather de rigueur in America.

Yeah. Just in case any of you forgot the reason for this three-day weekend. And no; please don’t wish a vet a happy Memorial Day. 🙄 Just try to give a passing thought to the fact that Memorial Day is the most expensive holiday in America that none of us had to directly pay for.

But, in my opinion, keep it to a passing thought if you’re a pure civilian. Leave the rest to those of us in service now, us veterans, and the Dependents. Just have fun. It’s already been payed for.

Well, it’s Memorial Day once, though most people seem to confuse it with Veterans Day these days.

So please, do enjoy your BBQ – I will – because it’s the right thing to do. It’s good to celebrate the life, freedom, and prosperity that those rough men and women died to protect.

But maybe, just maybe, you might want to set an extra place at the table for their shades. They did, after all, pay for that fine meal.

That’s all. Just a thought that maybe you might want to spare a thought and a little table space for our fallen soldiers and the ones they left behind.
