Happy Fucking Memorial Day!
Well said~
I’m off from work…
and getting paid for it. Seriously it is day’s like today where I actually think that there is a God. Yeah, I know I’m supposed to be thinking about soliders past and what they’ve sacrificed so the world remains in our control, but, come on…the only thing on anyone’s mind today is seeing how many hamburgers they can eat and if Aunt Millie going to perform her ‘How-Many-Hotdogs-Can-I-Shove-In-My-Twat’ trick after she’s had a few dozen beers.
No one - albiet maybe for a few of us - is actually using today for what it’s meant for; remembering fallen heroes. The majority of people use today as yet another holiday and think only of themselves. Examples:
I hope it’s nice out. What are we cooking? I’m getting wasted. We’re going out on the boat. I’m going to a party. I get to sleep in. Get the fuck over yourselves. (me included as I’ve said more than one of the above in the past few days. I hate it when I piss myself off.)
You know I’m sure it was a nice clear day, the Platoon sat around by a fire cooking whatever rations they had left cause no one could make it too the front line to replenish there supplies, they were sipping on brandy they pilferred from a war crushed home in France just to have something warm inside of them before they had to cross the river on a boat with so many holes, so many blood stains on it, that it only reminded them of death and how soon it was coming, and then a party of Germans’ ambush them and the shooting starts once again. Private Timmy get’s shot in the face. Tomorrow, he get’s to sleep in.
Just nod your head for a minute. I think, at the very least, they fucking deserve that.
