creating forged instruments?
Comon Ron, just give me another reason to completely expose you for the fraud and fool you are ... one more time Ronnie ... PLEASE!

So true. And someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but this wasn't the first time Rotterdam had a non-veteran marshal the parade. I think it was a very fitting gesture by a committee that IS made up of veterans to honor the guys who fought for their own community last fall. I could understand being pissed off about it, had the town dramatically altered the course of the parade...or the groups in it...or anything about it. But the town didn't. Started and ended where it always does. And then today, there's going to be a vet speaker at the memorial. Same parade, just they honor some guys who really don't get honored that often for a very thankless job they do.
Memorial Day has changed since the civil war. I'll take the change that has us honor volunteers who selflessly give over honoring the barbecue and how many beers you can drink around it.

And I suppose you can provide a link to the law that states that a post on a board like this is defined as an "instrument," in the context you mention?
Yep, where is the proof, DV. come on, provide the EVIDENCE to prove your statement!!!!!!

Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

Really? A fitting gesture? My grandfather nearly froze to death in the Arden Forest fighting Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. He was one of the lucky few that made it home, but many of his fellow soldiers weren't so lucky.
PLEASE...Tell me the names of the Rotterdam firefighters that died "fighting" the flooding last fall. PLEASE...Tell me the names of the Rotterdam firefighters that died in the line of duty in the last 10 years.

Uhh, actually no. Memorial Day honors members of the armed forces who gave their lives in service of our Nation. It has nothing to do with living soldiers, dead relatives, live volunteer firemen, cops, school teachers, ambulance drivers, CSEA workers or special voter blocs... But since anything goes in liberal land, and we can simply change the focus and meaning of anything we simply feel like by a majority vote, then why would I be upset if the majority want it to be something else? Perhaps we can make flag day about Highway Flag Men, the Fourth of July about Baseball stars, and on Veterans Day we can include pets, nurses, and newspaper writers. Traditions are stupid, right? Besides, dead guys don't vote.

I came across this article to help explain to you the meaning of this day. The only meaning.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. There are many stories as to its actual beginnings, with over two dozen cities and towns laying claim to being the birthplace of Memorial Day. There is also evidence that organized women's groups in the South were decorating graves before the end of the Civil War: a hymn published in 1867, "Kneel Where Our Loves are Sleeping" by Nella L. Sweet carried the dedication "To The Ladies of the South who are Decorating the Graves of the Confederate Dead" (Source: Duke University's Historic American Sheet Music, 1850-1920). While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it's difficult to prove conclusively the origins of the day. It is more likely that it had many separate beginnings; each of those towns and every planned or spontaneous gathering of people to honor the war dead in the 1860's tapped into the general human need to honor our dead, each contributed honorably to the growing movement that culminated in Gen Logan giving his official proclamation in 1868. It is not important who was the very first, what is important is that Memorial Day was established. Memorial Day is not about division. It is about reconciliation; it is about coming together to honor those who gave their all.
General John A. Logan Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, [LC-B8172- 6403 DLC (b&w film neg.)]
Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war). It is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90 - 363) to ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays), though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead: January 19 in Texas, April 26 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 10 in South Carolina; and June 3 (Jefferson Davis' birthday) in Louisiana and Tennessee.
In 1915, inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields," Moina Michael replied with her own poem: We cherish too, the Poppy red That grows on fields where valor led, It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies.
She then conceived of an idea to wear red poppies on Memorial day in honor of those who died serving the nation during war. She was the first to wear one, and sold poppies to her friends and co-workers with the money going to benefit servicemen in need. Later a Madam Guerin from France was visiting the United States and learned of this new custom started by Ms.Michael and when she returned to France, made artificial red poppies to raise money for war orphaned children and widowed women. This tradition spread to other countries. In 1921, the Franco-American Children's League sold poppies nationally to benefit war orphans of France and Belgium. The League disbanded a year later and Madam Guerin approached the VFW for help. Shortly before Memorial Day in 1922 the VFW became the first veterans' organization to nationally sell poppies. Two years later their "Buddy" Poppy program was selling artificial poppies made by disabled veterans. In 1948 the US Post Office honored Ms Michael for her role in founding the National Poppy movement by issuing a red 3 cent postage stamp with her likeness on it. Traditional observance of Memorial day has diminished over the years. Many Americans nowadays have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day. At many cemeteries, the graves of the fallen are increasingly ignored, neglected. Most people no longer remember the proper flag etiquette for the day. While there are towns and cities that still hold Memorial Day parades, many have not held a parade in decades. Some people think the day is for honoring any and all dead, and not just those fallen in service to our country. There are a few notable exceptions. Since the late 50's on the Thursday before Memorial Day, the 1,200 soldiers of the 3d U.S. Infantry place small American flags at each of the more than 260,000 gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery. They then patrol 24 hours a day during the weekend to ensure that each flag remains standing. In 1951, the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of St. Louis began placing flags on the 150,000 graves at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery as an annual Good Turn, a practice that continues to this day. More recently, beginning in 1998, on the Saturday before the observed day for Memorial Day, the Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts place a candle at each of approximately 15,300 grave sites of soldiers buried at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park on Marye's Heights (the Luminaria Program). And in 2004, Washington D.C. held its first Memorial Day parade in over 60 years.
To help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the "National Moment of Remembrance" resolution was passed on Dec 2000 which asks that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans "To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to 'Taps."
The Moment of Remembrance is a step in the right direction to returning the meaning back to the day. What is needed is a full return to the original day of observance. Set aside one day out of the year for the nation to get together to remember, reflect and honor those who have given their all in service to their country.
But what may be needed to return the solemn, and even sacred, spirit back to Memorial Day is for a return to its traditional day of observance. Many feel that when Congress made the day into a three-day weekend in with the National Holiday Act of 1971, it made it all the easier for people to be distracted from the spirit and meaning of the day. As the VFW stated in its 2002 Memorial Day address: "Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed greatly to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day."
On January 19, 1999 Senator Inouye introduced bill S 189 to the Senate which proposes to restore the traditional day of observance of Memorial Day back to May 30th instead of "the last Monday in May". On April 19, 1999 Representative Gibbons introduced the bill to the House (H.R. 1474). The bills were referred the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Government Reform.
Petition powered by ThePetitionSite.com To date, there has been no further developments on the bill. Please write your Representative and your Senators, urging them to support these bills. You can also contact Mr. Inouye to let him know of your support.

JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
And yet the veterans groups that organize the parade had ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH HONORING FIRST RESPONDERS and were IN FACT the ones who proposed it.
And we are to take your word for this? Show us proof, if it exists!

You have to understand that those who are doing the criticizing get some sort of twisted feeling of euphoria criticizing and attacking other people. They refuse to actually look at the facts -- such as that the Veterans who organized the parade made the decision on Grand Marshalls and NOT the town officials. Facts don't matter to them -- they simply are hate-filled individuals who will keep spewing more and more hate-filled lies.
Don't worry about the haters -- keep sharing your great ideas and thoughts,

Cicero - You totally sailed by my first point, which is that I don't think this is the first time the town had a NON-veteran as the grand marshal. And come to think of it, I don't know enough about any of the town's fire chiefs to say they're non-veterans...if you are that adamant about it, ask. In fact, demand. I can't remember the names of the two guys who were organizing it, but they were both veterans. I guess maybe you should be directing your ire toward them.
GB - "It has nothing to do with living soldiers, dead relatives, live volunteer firemen, cops, school teachers, ambulance drivers, CSEA workers or special voter blocs"
OK, so maybe YOU should demand that none of them march in the parade. Aside from the 'dead relatives,' all the others and more regularly march in the parade. Also noted some high school marching bands, some little league teams, a group of old ladies. Well f@ck, why not cancel the parade altogether since it seems to have nothing to do with honoring the dead...and more to do about liberals or whatever.
