[QUOTE="DriverNerd, post: 5280428, member: 61439"] To me this is the most important holiday of the year and one of the few worth recognizing. And I, like millions of others today, am going to be spending time with my family, grilling burgers, and having fun on our day off. But the one thing I try to do is make sure my children understand why they're not in school and why their parents aren't at work. I asked my kids, like I do every year, why we have today off, and this year was the first year I got a response that was something I wanted to hear. My youngest said "because of those in the army that died in wars". Yeah, I had to explain a little more in detail about who and why, but it was the first year I didn't get back: "I don't know". I'm glad they're at least starting to realize why we get to have today as a family. [/QUOTE]
