| Today you all celebrating Memorial Day.
Are those who died in the WW II, the soldiers in Iraq the ones to remember today.
Are there special habits on Memorial Day.
I would like to know how the US is celebrating this day. |

| Some towns will have WW2 reinactments. Some smaller towns do parades. Most people will just take the day off from work and have a cook out.
The meaning behind the day is good, but I bet very few Americans really think about why this day is a national holiday. I also bet that few really think about Independance Day and Labor Day either. To most, they are just paid days off from work. _________________  I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |

| I was making money. Some of us union thugs get paid to stay home on holidays.  _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |

| Just remember that the Teamsters Union, the largest and most powerful in the country, deals mostly with the trucking industry. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |
