Memorial Day has taken on a new association in the modern world - it has become the “start of summer” with long weekends, pool parties, and vacations. And over time, people who are not directly tied to the military may overlook the true purpose of the day, which is to reflect on the ultimate sacrifice made by US military members. 

And for those who are tied to the day, whether it be through a loved one who was killed while on duty, or a family history deeply rooted in past wars, it can be an incredibly difficult day.

And because we’re imperfect humans who make honest mistakes, sometimes we say things like “Happy Memorial Day” when, in fact, to the people who this day matters the most, is anything but happy.
