It's not appropriate to say "Happy Memorial Day," just as you wouldn't celebrate a loved one's funeral. This is a time to remember our fallen; it should be a somber reminder of the brave sacrifice men and women have made to keep the United States a free and just society.

5 things not to do on Memorial Day

Don't wish anyone a “Happy Memorial Day” This is not Christmas – Memorial Day was not founded in joy with the promise of brining glee each year. ...
Don't thank the current troops. ...
Don't disregard its importance. ...
Don't forget it exists. ...
Don't let politics keep you from rendering respect.

It's a day of remembrance and not just a paid day off to party and get drunk, or as the yearly open up the cabin ritual. I remember this every year and I'm sure the rest of us do to.
