Memorial Day Salute
Just like to say Thanks to those who have fought and died, and to those who are still fighting to protect our Nation, Though it's a little screwed up at the moment, This Salute is for all of you who have served and still serving in our military. Happy Memorial Day!
dont get it neither...
So, there are two very important dates nearly together. The first one is what? Memorial to these who died in the civil war? Or Independent War? Second isn't that accurat neither. Freedom for what? America or the slaves? _________________

July 4th: Independence Day, celebrating our declaration and eventual realization of our independence from the English Empire.
Memorial Day (last Monday of the month of May)
A Federal Holiday that is reserved to reflect upon the service of those who have FALLEN or are MISSING IN ACTION in ALL WARS OF THE UNITED STATES. It extends to living service men and women by genuine American courtesy for its service members, although the holiday is not specifically reserved for this.
Veteran's Day: Honoring LIVING veterans of ALL American Wars, from the Revolutionary War to the Operation Iraqi Freedom. _________________ You come for the modding but you stay for the Crap Forum. QUICK_EDIT
Very good explanation Regulus, I couldnt have said it better. But yeah it's a US Holiday to honor the fallen, but it's not ment to honor thier death, it's ment to honor what they died for. QUICK_EDIT

Actually, it honors all servicemen regardless if they were in a war or not. _________________ Because Banshee saw fit to ban my other account for no reason, this is my new one. QUICK_EDIT

The United Kingdom of great Britain and Ireland is the full title, even our Tory politicians refer to it as the UK now a days, we have lost our ways, lost the word Great from our title and if the eurovision song contest was any thing to go by no body likes us _________________ Creator of TS:BoB and some other things that might be good when finnished.

Well we are the UK, but the British Empire was named before Ireland was united with us (i.e. the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) then of course Ireland rebelled and we just stuck with Northern Ireland.

You make it sound like we need the word "great" in our title to actually be great. We are still a powerful nation, don't you know> _________________
