Memorial Day - Tuesday, May 29, 2012
Memorial Day was yesterday, and we hope that you not only enjoyed a day off, but that you took some time to use the day as it was intended. I know I can't be the only person in the world who gets annoyed when Hallmark "creates" another holiday, or when the retailers use every holiday to get you to purchase their goods. Memorial Day is one of those national holidays that should NOT be used for amping up retail sales.
We, as consumers are so used to this that it sometimes becomes white noise, but if you put yourself in the shoes of a family that has a soldier deployed somewhere, or worse, in the shoes of a mother who has lost a son, a husband who has lost a wife or a child who has lost a parent, you can imagine how offensive the "Memorial Day Sale" really is. I'll get off of my soap box, but not without first taking a moment to say THANK YOU to those who have sacrificed so that I can live in freedom.
