How much does this bother you?

Not a lot. At least people are making some effort to honor service people dead or alive. Most people don't actually know what most holidays were created to honor.

Not nearly as much as people wishing me a "Happy Memorial Day." The day is about remembrance and not celebration. Thankfully I have the day off work so I can avoid 99% of people.

MCPO Katrina Hutcherson It does not bother me even though they are very different days. I personally think about my father , uncles, and fallen buddies on both days, and throughout the year. I have found that a lot of civilians (not all), know absolutely nothing about the military.
