Today the U. S of A celebrates Memorial Day once again. I almost cannot believe it has been an entire year since I posted my last memorial day entry. This also means it has been more than a year since I last began this blogging endeavor. Sometimes one needs these little markers of time to wrestle us from the comfortable complacency that we slip into more often than we would like to admit.
Unlike last year, I shan't regale you today with any meaningful Memorial Day insights. I have unfortunately been too overwhelmed with propping up my own 'fallen soldier' for my thoughts to stray much farther than the four walls of my home. I do have a question relevant to today's proceedings however. Unfortunately no one has been able to provide an answer. Perhaps if I put it in my little 'bottle', throw it out into the great vacuousness of the internet, someone somewhere out there may have some ideas.
What is the appropriate Memorial Day greeting? Do you say "Happy Memorial Day"? Surely not, for it is not a 'happy' day.
Let me know.
A.
