Memorial Day commemorates those who died while serving in the military. Although many in my extended clan served in the armed forces, including me and my three older brothers who served in wartime, only one relative and only a few friends have died in the service during wartime. I honor them on this day.
But since, as has been pointed out recently, more people have died in civilian gun violence in the USA so far this year than in the ongoing wars our military are fighting, I feel that there should also be a memorial day set aside for all the victims of gun violence at home here in the states, including members of the police, and the victims of police violence.
