First strip I’ve read today that even mentions Memorial Day. We Americans are sooooo lucky to live here. Thanks to absent heroes for keeping it that way for us.
Often thought the holidays – Veterans’s Day and Memorial Day – should be combined, maybe even renaming the 4th of July. Of course those are the only important secular holidays, the only ones meaningfully celebrated at all. Christmas is not secular; New Years is celebrated, but at a shallow level. The others are not even celebrated, except that it is routinely a day when bureaucrats do no damage to the republic.
Alas, GoComics doesn’t have a “Memorial Day Cartoons” link like they’ve done for some other holidays. At least not where I can find it.The only other one among my regulars to mention Memorial Day is “Frazz.”

I don’t presume to speak for everyone but for this veteran Memorial Day means more to me than Veteran’s Day.
