Doing it tomorrow would have given it far less efficacy, but thanks.<br /><br />And who is this collective "us" that I am grouping together? Are you actually speaking of yourself? Man up, and say that, Vin. I didn't group any particular individuals into a group that I feel are flippant in their tributes. If you feel that I am lumping you into said group, you are putting yourself in there, not me.<br /><br />Why is that? Did you assume or did I touch a nerve?

Maybe it's because beginning yesterday I mentioned that bloggers rather than Americans treat the two days of observance with lip service than saying Americans treat it with lip service.

They don't want to be fawned over all the time...but they are honored by the day of respect.<br /><br />Why are people compelled to post about how much they "care"? I would guess they feel the same as you do when you post about your folks or ryan. Some of it may be band-wagon-jumping...but I'm not sure the majority are empty or self placating. <br /><br />People post about Valentines Day and St Patricks Day and Halloween. Mothers Day, Fathers' Day and their kids' birthdays. Not everyone can be creative and original...and they may just post up the same thing dozens of others have. Doesn't mean they aren't genuinely appreciative for the service.<br /><br />I know there have been times when others have made assumptions about you based on a post you have made...but here you are making assumptions on why others post on Vetern's Day.katherine.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06000676644051958330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28601411.post-18604608457542177282009-11-11T14:12:29.190-05:002009-11-11T14:12:29.190-05:00I was not going to post here today matt...but I wi...I was not going to post here today matt...but I will say one thing - this post would have been better done tomorrow...<br /><br />I also saw your comment over at Dana's and called you out on it over there...<br /><br />You can not make that comment while you group us all together here.<br /><br />are there people who are insincere in their 'honoring of country' - sure..are there those who are very sincere?

Even if you did leave Col. Robert E. Hogan out. I know you honor his service too. <br /><br />It's also so nice to see so many people take 2 minutes out of their busy schedules one day a year to honor the men and women who served this great country by telling everyone that they support the troops more than anyone else. Kinda brings a tear to my eye even. ;-)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134850383532818765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28601411.post-25261006207544622632009-11-11T10:35:00.446-05:002009-11-11T10:35:00.446-05:00Dianne: Ha.
