It's Memorial Day...

Which, in the US, means mattress nd car sales, barbecues and revelry. Kinda feels like folks are missing the point, sometimes. I think I appreciated Israel's Memorial Day a bit more. Actual memorial ceremonies, a nationwide moment of silence, stuff.

Thanks to my grandfathers and all the other vets and soldiers out there.
