What use to be a legit holiday for remembrance and family get together. Has over the years, morphed in to a 3 day Sal --thon. With 0% interest for 3 years.

I go our of my way to not spend a dime on "wants" or "entertainment" on this particular weekend every year. Of course "needs" can not be avoided

To quote another view on the day..... "(A Veteran that has seen war, does not "celebrate" Memorial Day...He mourns it.)"
