It always upsets me when people claim to be what they never were. There have been many people who’ve claimed to be war veterans, Rangers, SEALs, Marine Recon, etc., that never were. It’s known today as “Stolen Valor”. I know it’s easy for some to claim something without proof. In fact, it is we, the public, their neighbors and friends that allow this to occur.
I can remember hearing from the time I was a child that there are no atheists in foxholes. The meaning of this is that even non-believers when they are confronted in battle with the possibility of death, will find themselves reaching out to god to save them. Of course, this is what believers want everyone to think. It’s not true.
Memorial Day is a holiday in America that honors those men and women who wore the uniform that made the ultimate sacrifice. We want to remember those heroes that didn’t come home. Sometimes I believe during our barbecues and parties that we forget the reason for the holiday.
