sawhse said:Happy is just a word. I have lost love ones on days that include this word. But I still celebrate because I have Happy thoughts about these people. How bout Happy New Year when I lost my brother to a terrible car accident. Yes its not so happy but he was my brother and I smile when I think about him. So I can say Happy Veterans day. Thanks to all the vets including my self who have sacrificed.
:stoned:
Using the term happy as you so indicated would mean, that society could have a Happy That Your Brother Died Day. And that sounds terrible, just like Happy Veterans Day does.
I think I will continue to thank a Vet and remember those that died in remembrance instead of throwing a party in celebration.
