When I was growing up and a Boy Scout, every Memorial Day my troop would join the local parade. We would march to each cemetary in town, performa 21 gun salute and Taps, and decorate the stone of fallen vetarans.

Now I'm not sure what happens, other than a whole army of drunken bums floating on a lake somewhere.

it rather disgusts me how little the american people honor those who have fallen to make this land free. My entire family was in the military, brothers and cousins too. Too see how easliy trodden upon their honor is is revolting.

That is why I wear the BlackWatch tartan this memorial day. In their honor.
