The TV has tried to tell me to "thank a veteran" this holiday. 'Cos they slept through History and Civics, I guess.
Memorial Day? That's when we thank the veterans -- soldiers, airmen,
sailors, Marines -- who aren't here to thank. The fallen. That's what
this day is for. Pause for a moment, and remember. Place a flag or
flowers on a grave or memorial. Remember them. They served. They
fought. They died. Maybe it wasn't in a war you approved of -- maybe
some of them didn't approve of it either. There's not a darned thing
you can do about it except to remember them.

That's true. We only have memories of how they were, yet those that served with them, remember the moments of when they died.
I honor them all. Death in service takes something from society only those that served ever really know.
Thank you for posting that.
That is the kind of explanation that needs to be put on a billboard.
