Sorry, you don't get an automatic pass for signing up to follow orders.
How about the Americans who died defending against the European invaders starting in 1492? When the dead of Wounded Knee are also acknowledged, then I'll say Memorial Day is just and true.
How about the Americans who were deliberately - and unwittingly! - injected with radioactive substances in military experiments? Didn't they "serve" their country? When do they get their holiday?
