The Ragin’ Grannies are way out of line here. How dare they use Memorial Day as a day when they try and get their political points across? It’s a slap in the face to the men and women who serve this country and to the families of the men and women who have lost their lives fighting for this country. Memorial Day is about remembering those who lost their lives for this country. You don’t have to support the war to remember the fallen soldiers.
This is no different than the BOA having a Misael Martinez Day in Carrboro in rememberance of a fallen soldier and then, in the same meeting, call for an immediate withdrawal of the troops in Iraq.
STOP using days when we remember fallen soldiers as a time for politicking!!!!
