....most people don't know the difference between memorial day and veterans day vs 4th of July. It is sad ...
I was just about to start a thread on this topic, and your post is exactly what I was going to say.
The other day I saw a business playing patriotic music on the speaker system and they had Fourth of July themed picnic stuff on sale. For a minute I thought that they didn't know what time of the year it was , but then I realized well, they're just commingling all these holidays into one multi-orgasmic summer time picnic and grilled brats fest.
