“If ye break faith with us who die…”

Memorial Day is supposed to be about honoring the war dead, and passing the torch. It’s not supposed to be just another chance to whack Bush over Iraq, while leaving Afghanistan unmentioned because you can’t use that favored MSM phrase "…this unpopular war" with Afghanistan. The Memorial Day observance, which began in and after the American Civil War, is supposed to about the war dead, not the living combatants nor veterans. And not breaking faith is, today, an often forgotten part of it.
