McCurdy: Need more holidays for veterans

Has anyone ever noticed or thought about the many days we celebrate or remember the following: Flag Day Memorial Day Fourth of July Earth Day Sept. 11 Presidents Day Labor Day Veterans Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day New Year’s Day But now we have Gay Pride Month and Black History Month. Why are we celebrating a month for the above and only one day for our Veterans and Memorial Day? I am not an activist, but I feel we are catering to the loudest voices and small minority of the population. My question is why.
