I myself have the utmost respect for veterans. I was the taps player at memorial days services for several color guards in our area for many years, as well as funerals for soldiers passed on. I'm also a school teacher, and I have to say it is sad and almost scary, the fact that most today, kids and parents, don't care. Last night, on my 30 mile drive home from work, the roads were Packed with trucks pulling boats and ATVs. There are people by the 1000's that come out from the metro area for this weekend, but when I attend the services at local cemeteries, there are but 12-15 local neighbors there. I know everybody in attendance. That tells me that this weekend is nothing more than three days of fun on the water or tearing up the public and private lands with ATVs for a good majority of the public. Should people enjoy themselves this weekend? Certainly, but it sure would be nice to see a little effort put forth to honor the fallen. Should there be school? No. Would it really make a difference to the kids? YES, but because they don't get the day off for their own fun, not because they had plans to remember fallen heroes. I'm done now too.
