Memorial Day Weekend

At the Pentagon City Mall. Have to say I've never seen a palace to consumerism decked out so patriotically. Though it was devoid of any blatant electioneering blather, it still seemed a bit irreverent. Memorial Day is supposed to remember the fallen who gave the last full measure of devotion so that we may live free. It's the bunting that makes it a tad too festive. It's fine for the 4th of July, but perhaps black wold be more appropriate with some mention of POW's & MIA's on this more somber day. Guess that wouldn't be such a great marketing strategy for the retailers though.
