And, once again, I'm sorry to say that I was sorely disappointed (but not surprised). Why? Well, because I decided to conduct a bit of informal research, which consisted of my driving around the neighborhoods of my town yesterday evening and noting the kinds of outdoor decorations that folks had (or - more likely - had NOT) placed on display to honor our veterans in observance of such a sacred national holiday.
