Reply to "Ignorance of Americans?"

You would think at least 95% would know the Answer. Especially all those old enough to vote. But then again, if you broke it down by Age Groups, the 18-24's would be the least able to answer "What is Memorial Day?" I could be wrong.. While theorizing which segments of Americans over 18 years old, why not break down the % of participants into Groups...by.. Education Level, Age, Male, Female, (They -Gay&Transgendering), Race, Income earnings, Recipients of Government handouts for Misfortunates &/or Bums, Political affiliation, etc. That would be a HOOT!!

But in years past, at family gatherings & Holidays, some of the family youngsters, (below 18) tend to get Memorial Day & Veterans day mixed up, when ask about the Holiday. To have a little fun with them, I used to ask them another question.  Do you know what Armistice Day is?.... By the time I would get about 2 sentences into the explanation... they scurried away swiftly to go play with the other kids... Even had 1 of their parents say, I didn't know that.... See what I dealing with!! I'm just passing down what my grandfather ask me on Nov 11, at 11am many many years ago about his War ending remembrance of WWI. I will say, all got it right about the 4th of July... school age up. Yea!!
