Why Memorial Day is a Double-Whammy for Me

DAMN YOU, GEORGE W BUSH.

Memorial Day is a double-whammy for me. You see, my son Casey was born on Memorial Day 29 years ago. When he was growing up, we would gather dozens of our friends and relatives to celebrate his birthday. Now a few of us gather at his grave in Vacaville, California, to mourn his death and cry for his life that was stolen from him by George W. Bush. Casey is not buried in a military cemetery, but there are many veterans of other wars buried in his cemetery.
