Its a day to celebrate the memory of loved ones or strangers who sacrificed for us, and allowed us to live in a Democracy up until now... What WORD would you have used, since happy seems to have triggered you a week later....? Quote

All of the suggested alternatives are just too wordy. I dont really see anyone saying those things when offering acknowlegment of the day to friends or family..... Happy seems benign enough to be given and accepted without issue, except to those that obviously get triggered by it. I appreciate you giving me a course corrector. However since only ONE person even acknowledged my post, I think we can put this to rest until next year, when I WILL NOT post about the day. Quote

It's what Trump posted " Happy Memorial Day" That'll keep you from saying that ever again 😝 Quote
