Memorial Day

I am sitting here at work on Memorial day (having accomplished all my work for the day), wondering how un-American it is that we (TCM employees) are not celebrating those who have served and are serving this wonderful country of ours by taking the day off. It was someone's (TCM's Union) idea to not take memorial day off, but take Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day off instead.

Now, I have nothing wrong with Dr. King. In fact I have the utmost respect for such a huge civil and American icon. The celebration of one man's life that has had such an impact on how America is today deserves to be honored.

But, how much more the men and women of this country that have given their lives so you and I and Dr. King could even have the privilege of living here. It is the freedom that the men and women serving in our armed forces provide that even allowed Dr. King to let everyone know that he had a dream.

Thanks to all the men and women in our armed forces!
