Memorial day is about remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their country. So how did we celebrate it? Most went to a barbecue or the beach, but this year it was rob, and beat your fellow citizen to death day. Myrtle beach was inundated with crime, there was a riot in Long Island, Nashville had to close a water park because of fighting, and South Beach in Miami was called a "War Zone". I'm a little confused. Our service men and women died to preserve our safety, and we honor that by going to war with our neighbors. The word holiday is derived from the phrase holy day, and apparently some believe that means to shoot someone full of holes.
