Every night over the three-day weekend I heard the faint pop of firecrackers. It wasn't the noise that bothered me but the cluelessness.

Has our education system become so bad that people no longer know how to observe national holidays? Has our common sense diminished to such an extent that we commemorate fallen soldiers with sounds that mimic the shells that killed them?

Memorial Day is not a celebration, it is a somber remembrance of the men and women who gave their lives so that we could live in freedom and, apparently. ignorance.
