yeah, c1apton, and evidently i'm not it
so memorial day is a stinkin yankee holiday? well that's certainly a killbuzz. i guess since it encompasses ANY war i can celebrate it in honor of all but the civil. and maybe in honor of the civil from the perspective that those who died did so fighting for what they believed in. that's better!
