General Order
No. 11
<center>
Headquarters, Grand Army of the Republic
Washington, D.C., May 5, 1868</center>
The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form or ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain in us.

You know I can't deal with it, maybe because I don't have to, just a bunch of war movies in my head dirty old men who did not go to war but played so many combat heroes in "Ho Wood" movies (perezoso word Ho Wood, he had an eye for the movies, maybe better than anyone here)
I can't deal with it
I can't deal with sack of shit president looking so commander in chiefish laying the wreaths on a dead heroes grave.
I can't deal with it jimbo
Give me a memorial day for every war that's all I want, no generic war holidays, I want a veteran's day for every war, a memorial day for every war.
Have we had 365 wars yet. Cause maybe when we do and run out of holidays we will find a better way.
I do not mean to be disrespectul, I am crazy jim, just check with my draft board, a four f hippie just because after my father died and I froze up inside I could not get to sleep without the comforting image of a shot gun tucked up under my chin and my finger on the virtual trigger.
SO now it looks like Karl Rove will be getting a third term, trashing Wesley Clark for saying that McCain is the real deal a true hero but getting shot down in a fighter jet does not necessarly make for a president.
No more civilians in the oval office, we need a commander in chief, I think that this whole debate about lapel pins is very helpful. I think the problem is that presidential candidates should have their own unifourms.
maybe something like this

Meanwhile McCain has surrounded himself with scalawags but we don't mind, because McCain has a plan to win the VietNam war.

is every day is memorial day for me
I don't think a day goes by that I don't mourn.
