Legal Grounds | Memorial Day

This past Monday was Memorial Day, a day for remembering those who have given their lives in the service of this country. 

Many of us, especially those privileged enough to have a 3-day weekend, used the time to gather with friends and family. 

It is a solemn Holiday that has also somehow become the unofficial beginning of Summer, and while I am not here to be the grumpy old man, I think we can all admit it’s a little weird to use it to sell mattresses. 

But again, I don’t want to be “that guy,” and so I set about trying to see if I could find a reason for this strange combination of reverence and relaxation that wasn’t based on anecdotal evidence. 

And while I suspected it to simply be a number’s game, I stumbled across something interesting that clicked a lot of pieces into place for me. 

Hopefully it can do the same for you. 

Enjoy the show
