Americans ONLY remember Veterans and Veteran's Day when it's convenient or chic to do so.
The media takes images and videos of these events off the TV saying, "It will just breed anger, it's too disturbing, or may offend certain people."
Instead of crying out, the American public goes along with it, without question, all in the name of "tolerance".
George Santayana... "Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it."

Get over yourself. This thread is about absurd gas prices, not whether or not "enough" people pay visible tribute to the fallen and VFW's... or whether or not actual wartime footage gets "enough" play on television.
If you want to live every day in tribute, then you have the freedom to do so.
I also invite you to bleed for me, several thousand miles away from your home, any day you wish. But that doesn't mean that I owe you a thing in return - especially if you're going to be walking around with a chip on your shoulder because of it.
Now back on topic... getting ripped off by pigs wearing ties who smell like boiling petroleum products instead of sweet sweet bacon.
