With no due respect, Mr. President, Associated Press:
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama saluted veterans and urged his countrymen to do the same this Memorial Day weekend, saying the nation has not always paid them proper respect.
In his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama said people can honor veterans by sending a letter or care package to troops overseas, volunteering at health clinics or taking supplies to a homeless veterans center. He said it could also mean something as simple as saying “thank you” to a veteran walking by on the street.
Memorial Day is not to honor, us the living veterans. Rather Memorial Day is meant to honor our fallen dead
Mr. President, the honors ares their’s.
Hat tips: Jammie Wearing Fool; and Gateway Pundit.
Addendum:
Michelle asks, rhetorically:
More to the point: Does Obama know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?
Nor does the one care.
