“Memorial Day—honor their deaths by questioning anyone calling for more of them”

A popular Memorial Day saying was posted on Facebook by Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian (and on Twitter by Mrs. Betty Bowers) on May 26, 2012:

“Memorial Day—honor their deaths by questioning anyone calling for more of them.”

Wikipedia: Memorial Day
Memorial Day (previously, but now seldom, called Decoration Day) is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The holiday is now observed on the last Monday of May, having been observed on May 30 from 1868 to 1970.
