As this day is a public holiday in the District of Columbia and everywhere else in the United States of America, US Tax Court is closed, and so am I.

The holiday began, my source tells me, following the Civil War, to decorate the graves of those who died fighting for our country. The name was changed a century later. The purpose was not.

I shall not expatiate upon what the day has become, lest this blogpost become unfit for family reading.

I shall once again note that all gave some, some gave all, but no one has the right to give nothing.
