. One could hear The high school band For hours practicing For the big parade It is time again For hot dogs Beer and barbecues with various Other meats sizzling on the grill Craft fairs at the shopping malls Special sales on summer styles Sure to catch the eye Far away from flowers In distant weedy battlefields Little flags fluttering Among stones . |

I remember years ago... ( darn I sound like my parents) we had school and it was a holiday only if you took off and went to a prayer service for Memorial Day. Today it is a day of sales and marketing...for not just this holiday but for all holidays. M |
