Teachers, healthcare workers, community activists and volunteers never get parades and their own holidays like veterans do. It’s because those things aren’t valued by our society. Those people obviously don’t help us keep our freedom and liberty.

Pffft, imagine having a mattress sale on a holiday devoted to teachers or healthcare workers. Ridiculous, I tell you. We save those honors for our veterans and war dead.


I hope my cynicism is blatantly obvious and that it goes without saying that I very sarcastic in my above post.
