Memorial Day Ediquette
#3
To me it is foremost about remembering and honoring those that gave their lives for our country during service as that was the original intent of the holiday for fallen Civil War soldiers. But it is perfectly fine honoring those that have passed away after they served as well, and those still alive, particularly those wounded.

As I've grown older, I think it's also fine to honor those that have passed like my grandfather who was a bit too old to serve in WW2. He worked 7 days a week during the war at the Milicron here in Cincy that made engines and other necessary things that was essential to the war effort. Without folks like him on the lines back here, the war would not have gone in our favor.
