Are they told by their Corp. office to say this? I know my company refers to Merry Christmas as Happy Holiday. That erks me enough, now I have to deal with it on Memorial Day Too?
What about July 4th and Veteran's day?
Like on Veteran's day I am going to wish my Korean War Veteran neighbor "Happy Holiday". NOT!
I am not going to bow down to this Politically correct crap. I don't at the Christmas season and I Will Not on Memorial Day Weekend.
This year, like last year I am going to hang my 2 American Flags on the front of my 5er and then I am going to think about my Uncle that never came home to tell me stories of flying in a B-29 Bomber.
I am also going to think of the 3000 plus Soldiers that have died thus far in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Have a Safe and Happy Memorial Day Weekend.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

I think you may be reaching on this on...they're just saying to enjoy the day off. Actually thinking about those that have died for you to enjoy that day off...well, that's up to you.
