What is 🥳 happy about soldiers who DIED in wars? Should we say Have a 😔 SOLEMN Memorial Day?

Nothing. Yes, that does seems more appropriate...except that just isn't realistically something people would wish to say to anyone, of course. Not even to those who've lost loved ones who died in service to their country.

People often have "celebration of life" events for loved ones who have died, and do not wish them to be sad and "solemn".

There is nothing happy about it, of course everyone knows that, its just an expression that's been passed down like valentine's day was a day of a fertility festival during the Roman era, where women were whipped. And now we associate it with love. Its just one of those things. Not meant to be taken literally no one with human decency is happy without remembrance this day.

True i mean there are people in my family who served and im proud of them. Nobody died in battle thankfully but it's sad for th9se who have

True. I have already been brought to tears by following my Memorial Day traditions.

did you ever think its because we are happy that we had men and women that love our country and way of life that they were willing to give thier all to protect this country

Have a grateful Memorial Day?

It’s more about the freedom you enjoy now for their sacrifice..

Have a peaceful Memorial Day.

Appropriate greeting would be "Good Memorial Day"

That’s what it is: solemn!
