I read this somewhere and I think this might be something to say..."have a meaningful Memorial Day"

@LorelaiGilmore  I am so sorry your parents lost their son and you lost your brother, I truly am.  I know your heart is heavy today.  
Today is  far from happy for you and other families that lost a loved one while they unselfishly fought for our freedom. 

Thank you for understanding.

It is offensive and ignorant to say "Happy Memorial Day". I was two when my 18 year old brother was killed in Vietnam. A shadow hung over my parents for the rest of their lives. My life was profoundly impacted as well. It is not a day to celebrate. If you haven't been through it, you don't know. It is also NOT about celebrating living veterans.

@LorelaiGilmore  I am truly sorry for the loss of your brother and for the heartache your parents endured.😢
