Memorial Day... Go Kiss a Veteran!!!!
Hmmmm... Memorial Day. A holiday that was first meant to honor the men and women that served and died for our country. I have a bit of a problem with "that" concept. Why is it just a day to honor the dead, it should be as a day to honor ALL those that serve or have served.
Most just take it as a day off, and another excuse to fuck off and get drunk these days. That's not a "holiday", that's a slap in the face of veterans. Lest we forget. Celebrate and honor those that pay the price of our freedoms.
How about you take a few sales today and toss some coin to the USO.
Welcome to The USO
The USO is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide morale, welfare and recreation-type services to our men and women in uniform. The original intent of Congress - and enduring style of USO delivery - is to represent the American people by extending a touch of home to the military. The USO currently operates more than 120 centers worldwide, including seven mobile canteens located in the continental United States and overseas. Overseas centers are located in Germany, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Iceland, Japan, Qatar, Korea, Afghanistan, Guam, and Kuwait. Service members and their families visit USO centers more than 5 million times each year.
