href="http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a160/knitchickmelly/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Memorial_Day_2009_DLM_dlm_052209.gif" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a160/knitchickmelly/Memorial_Day_2009_DLM_dlm_052209.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I asked a friend the other day, what Memorial Day was all about&lt;br /&gt;and then I asked "Auntie Wikipedia" about this topic too (see &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day"&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; to read  more).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I had to think a lot:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So while I understand,&lt;br /&gt;that the day is to commemorate all soldiers that  gave their life in the wars&lt;br /&gt;and I also figure that it is a great way to never  forget them&lt;br /&gt;and I think it is great for the families, who have been left behind,&lt;br /&gt;to  have a special day to remember the ones they have lost;&lt;br /&gt;and also good for those, who survived, to know that they are not forgotten...&lt;br /&gt;I still didn't feel comfy  saying "Happy Memorial Day"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Maybe it is just my European-influenced mind&lt;br /&gt;or the fact that being raised  and living in Germany*&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;which makes me squirm at the thought of a "Happy Time" on a day&lt;br /&gt;that was  originally made for remembering and contemplating of all the things&lt;br /&gt;those  soldiers and veterans have done for their country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;On the other side I understand why the people celebrate on this day,&lt;br /&gt;since  most of the wars that were fought were to gain something,&lt;br /&gt;to bring peace and  freedom and therefore it is just right to be happy and thankful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;So I came to the conclusion that this is a day for quiet times&lt;br /&gt;and also for  loud celebrations, marches and music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So with all this knowledge and thoughts and conclusions I can now shout out loud:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Happy Memorial Day, my friends!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;*in Germany you get fed with the guilt of the Second World War from your  first sip of breast milk and although my parents are English and were always complaining about the propaganda,&lt;br /&gt;I got enough of  that guilt through T.V. and school to influence me a lot. :-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Image I used is a Memorial Day -freebie from &lt;a
