That was fantastic! By the second panel, I was starting to feel all guilty that I hadn’t commemorated the holiday properly, then you nailed it on the last panel. Way ta go, M!
In Canada we don’t celebrate Memorial Day. We celebrate Victoria Day. Nobody died on that day … just some old broad became Queen or something, so it’s okay to barbeque!
A lot of stuff is much cheaper in Canada, like healthcare. I’ll gladly pay an additional 3% sales tax to be able to see a doctor the same day, any time I need it, and not have to fork over a cent or fill out endless forms.
There’s an argument to be made that the Americans are celebrating the freedom to be able to have a barbecue party. If you at least take time to visit a cenotaph or veteran’s event, to at least discuss with your kids about the price that was paid for the freedom to have BBQ in the afternoon, I can’t see there being anything wrong with a little outdoor feast.
We actually go to the military cemetery with my kid’s boy scout troop and place flags on every grave. It’s like 80,000 graves, but we do it all in about two hours, because like 4,000 Boy Scouts showed up.
Isn’t that true. Even the best intentioned can’t resiste a good cook out.
Exactly, Bearman. I love me some potato salad. lol

Thanks, George! Terry can plant the guilt trip on anyone, while he does the same thing. He sounds like a Politician in the making.

At times, I wish I was Canadian, Craig. Although, I hear it’s expensive there.

He’s got a point there. HOW does a picnic help commemorate veterans?
USA needs to rethink the way it celebrates the holiday, Lou.

We’ve been doing that for 4 years now.
Wow! That’s what I like to hear!
