Probably unlike most Americans, we spent the holiday solemnly commemorating important (therefore, forgotten) events in American history: the Bonus Army, the seeds of early Communism in the U.S. that presaged the civil rights movement, the later McCarthy-led Red Scare, Kent State, the My Lai massacre, the Sedition Act of 1918, etc.
About 5pm, we were ready for a beer.
