And bless those families that lost a family member.

I totally agree with you ,it’s gotten worse I think every year and not just here( where there are many that think Veterans Day is everyday)but other places also .The day is all about honoring our dead many who never even got to be buried at home or long forgotten . I make it a point a couple of days before or after memorial day to find an old veterans grave in some of the surrounding cemetery’s and leave some flowers , I leave the photo opportunities during the weekend to others
