Not lowering the flag to half-staff on Memorial Day is too common and nobody addresses this issue.

Flying flags is very common, from residential homes to business front door, to government buildings, to public places. But my observation for many years is only a few of them lowered the flags on Memorial Day.

Half the population probably has no idea what Memorial Day represents. Just another 3 day weekend

Lots of folks confuse Memorial Day with Veterans Day.

“Thank you for your service” texts fits with Veterans Day.

Memorial Day is for the brave warriors who are no longer with us.

"Thank you for your service" doesn't bother me, but "Happy Memorial Day" is a bit odd.

Indeed. It would be awkward replying “are you aware I was not killed during my service?”

Yes, Memorial Day is for the fallen soldiers. That’s why I think lowering flags is important.

EVERYTHING is co-opted by prospective financial gain: it's human nature.

Sadly, personalities suffering from OCD are also part of human nature.

They don't believe in Memorial or Veterans day. They don't believe in the American flag, July 4th or what any of it means. They don't believe in anything.
