It's Memorial Day, and while many people see it as a day for barbecues and parties or another day for great sales, let's not forget what today's about.
This is literally the saddest thing I've seen in a long time. This boy's name is Christian Golczynski. He was eight years old when this photo was taken. His father was killed a few weeks before he was supposed to come home.
I don't care whether or not you agree with the foreign policy that's sending troops overseas. Not believing in our reason for being in the Middle East doesn't give you the right to be an asshole. These comments were all from a post about a man who named his son after the Marine who saved his life in combat.
Now look back up at the first picture. Imagine if that little boy saw those things being said about his father, his hero. It makes me sad that some people are like this. You don't have to respect the government's decision, but have respect for the troops and their families.
