It is academic now that I'm a house-husband, but I had been taking this day off ever since 2001. It is much more personal than Memorial Day for me. Friends died that day, neighbors too, and nobody I worked with downtown has ever been quite the same; some of them were psychologically shattered. It still makes me cry to think about it, and probably always will.
