Major media networks are diminishing or secularizing Memorial Day by including current veterans with remembrances.
By including living veterans, it takes away the meaning and spirit of this ultimate sacrifice that those killed-in-action have made.
It almost seems that the mainstream only wants us to see that only martyrs can give their lives for a cause. To keep a secular view in the public mind and esprit de corps for the fallen in check.
This is not what Memorial Day is for.
Memorial Day is only for those brave military service personnel that gave the ultimate sacrifice for the United States and that is their lives.
For all U.S. veterans we have Veterans Day.
