This weeks People Mag did a moving article on Tank Commander Staff Sgt Russ Marek's journey since being horribly wounded when his tank was destroyed by a roadside bomb 3 years ago.

Most of the media is composed of elitist liberals who view Memorial Day as a "3 day weekend" and nothing more.

AOL's homepage doesn't even mention it in their 8 pop-up headlines today (although one of the 8 does note The Villages as the most AOL searched retirement community)

My PTD homepage noted Pres Obama's Memorial Day address.

The big headline in the Sun is Travel today.

HOWEVER, we may be premature in our observations.... The recogintion of Memorial Day is Monday, May 25th.
