Today, as millions of Americans use this holiday to do what we do on every holiday -- eat, we here at Punknews would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has fought and died protecting their nation. If you think you hate Nazi-punks now, just imagine the hell-hole this world would be if the outcome of WWII was not in our favor.

So we say thank you to those who have lost their lives serving our countries, so that the rest of us can go to sleep each night knowing we'll wake up safe the next morning. Maybe we can all rest our political beliefs for one day, and appreciate just how large of a sacrifice that really is.

Update: It looks like there is some free music to go along with today's holiday. Head over to the Paint it Black MySpace page and download the song "Memorial Day".
