I guess I had my fun on Sat & Sun in SoBe and the beach.
Today I did some Web searches and found out my Uncle Bill's exact burial plot in Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis MO. Just in the event that anyone should ever take a personal interest in visiting. Bill went into the Marines at 15 and died in the Pacific War at 19, so he does not have any progeny.
I also sent in a request for my namesake Uncle Robert's military records. It was a PDF form that I filled out and don't know if I qualify to get them as a nephew or even if they exist. The address was at Military Personnel Records, 9700 Page Ave., St. Louis, MO and there was a bad fire there years ago that destroyed a lot of old records - so that is a crap shoot.
But that is how I spent this Memorial Day

Memorial day is supposed to be happy? I don't get it.

Oh of course not. People shouldn't be enjoying their holiday off and if they get together with family and friends for a backyard BBQ it should be a miserable experience.
Have a rotten memorial day everybody!!!

Not really. I think people just get caught up in the expression "happy....whatever" when it's a holiday. But the sentiment regarding memorial day is that it is a day of remembrance for people that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. So for that, I definetely appreciate the recognition (even if expressed incorrectly).2xy wrote:Memorial day is supposed to be happy? I don't get it.
