Anything you're looking for in particular?

Primary Arms has some decent items marked down.

SKD is running their standard 10-1X% (increases by 1% each day) off sale.

I understand the solemness of the occasion but does anyone really think the honored fallen would want us to spend the day mourning and not celebrate the freedoms they gave their lives to defend????

  I think that there are many holidys that call for celebration!   4th of July, Thanksgiving, etc.

    This is ONE day that I think calls for reflection.

   For many years, my best friend, from high school  and I , would go out into the desert, alone, and shoot and talk.  He was a vet from Vietnam, I was not, being medically exempted. A fact I'll regret all my life.

  This year, I'll be going alone.  My friend died, last year.

I fully agree with you on the holidays.  May your friend rest in peace.  I'm sure he'll be with you always like all the rest of the Vietnam veterans that never came home; they will also be with us always.

HEY!!!

Its Memorial Day! And all you guys can talk about are Sales?????

Try rembering what this day is SUPPOSED to stand for!

Terry

Usually there are several Memorial Day threads that serve to thank our Vets and remember and honor our nation's fallen warriors. All threads being topical, this one is about holiday sales, and doesn't disregard the purpose of Memorial Day. I agree that we shouldn't lose sight of the real purpose of this day, but I also agree with the point already made about how we memorialize our fallen. The point being, after the shopping and the BBQ are finished, take the rest of the day to contemplate the loss of our brothers and sisters afield.

Lastly, many thanks to our brothers here on the forum who sacrificed years of their lives to serve a purpose much larger than themselves, to you we are grateful.

 I apoligise if I  seemed to over react.  There are holidays that are "hard" on different people.   This one is mine.

   I thank my friends for thier condolences, and I remain
