Do you think I am attacking Obama?Now you're just playing ignorant. Or at least I think you're playing.

Our VFW had a BBQ with pulled pork and tenderloins--does that count?
After a bouquet tossed in the river for those lost at Sea, we had a great service in our park's War Memorials with many words still with me.
It's always good to teach the kids about the ## names on the World War stone--since it was engraved before WW2--and the ## names from WW2.
Kids were asking about the ## from Vietnam because their ranks are given with their branch of service--and ## from Korea.
Quite the sacrifice for a small town.
Have you received a card from the VA or a Nearby Mental Health Clinic yet?
One of the Commanders spoke of it today and wasn't too pleased with the confusion coming from th VA.
I'm surmising it was about PTSD and will look into it.
Sounds like out-reach clinics the VA may use at local Hospitals with excellent Mental Health Clinics .
Memorial Day is to honor our fallen soldiers. And we should do that, absolutely. But, is it acceptable to BBQ on Memorial Day, or should we spend the day in deep thought and solemn remembrance?
I don't either, but some people (here at DP and elsewhere) are acting like it is. Hence, the question.

Then why address your comments regarding attacking Obama to me, especially when I have already directly addressed the issue to the one that did?You aren't. Someone did.

An Irish wake.Yes, we should solemnly remember but also celebrate what those lives meant. Same with civilian funerals. I love hearing about people having a great time at a funeral!

I prefer the line the walls with Black plastic trash bags and close the curtains so that no light can enter. Then cut myself and cry in the dark while listening to emo music.You are allowed to grill food, however you should otherwise be sitting in ashes and practicing self-flagellation. Ice cream is definitely out of the question.

There are people who are downright outraged that Americans are enjoying the freedoms that our veterans fought and died for. It's a disgrace.That is not called for.
It is a serious question, though there probably is a bit of sarcasm, too. I'm very sarcastic by nature. Anyway, this year, for the first time, I'm catching a degree of shaming directed toward people who use the holiday to relax and/or have a good time. This attitude baffles me. I was curious how prevalent this feeling was. Not very, it turns out, which is nice.I sense a bit of sarcasm. I'm not really sure if this is a serious question or not. Hell, I am an active duty member and I know all my buddies have their grills outside right now. So I am not really sure why you're asking.

Is this a dialogue involving you? And for that matter...why didnt you address your comment to 'the other guy'? Oh yeah...THATS why....Take it to another thread. This Thread borders on a RIP.
The BBQ is to help remember the people who were burned to death by firebombs.

If you're not a petty, partisan, loser, then there's not one on this planet.
You constantly post comments opposing President Obama but when have you ever offered any reasonable ideas?
With you, it's all about opposing the Black guy in the White House.
If that upsets you then all that I'm going to say is that maybe, just maybe, you need to adjust your attitude just a little. You are way out of touch with most Americans.
Obama will be in the White House until another Democrat takes his place in 2017.
Wait and see.
If you don't think so, that's just more evidence that you're out of touch.
Come back and tell me all about it after the election next year. :roll:
The clock is ticking.
I don't think the two are mutually exclusive
