  So it comes that we as a nation-state, need to remember those the few who have given the ultimate sacrifice so we the many can sit on our collective asses and forget about it.
I'm talking about Memorial Day - where America is to remember it's soldiers. Those who fight for us when called upon. Now I don't want to get into a "Is this or that conflict for us to be involved with? " discussion, but to simply ask folks to try and remember those that served (and are currently serving) in the United States Armed Forces.
This day was started to remember the costliest war to date - The American Civil War. More Americans died or were injured in that war than any other. So take a moment out on Monday to attend a parade or a memorial for the soldier. I know I will.
