First I disagree that young people know of our history.
Second, the thought of the OP was not about knowing but what this holiday means, or any truely American holiday.
IF they knew how people suffered so the young folks could do what they want today, they would not mock God fearing Americans who do understand.
You do not need to believe in God to respect others right to believe, And KNOWING what happened does not automatically mean you understand the meaning.
I do agree that they are misrepresented by media, as are a lot of groups.
They are our future, so hopefully they will get it...I never meant that ALL young people fit into lack of understanding. They are going in the wrong direction however, and they need us to show and explain instead of yelling at each other.
Being patriotic today is considered to be a symptom of old age, and that is a shame.
