Tim Cook marks Memorial Day with remembrance, and a message of gratitude

I really wish the United States would designate Memorial Day as a Day of Remembrance rather than a holiday, like Canada and European countries do with similar days of national acknowledgement of significant events. In the US the meaning of Memorial Day and Veterans Day have been diluted into simply being another day off work to take advantage of mattress sales and special deals on Amazon. I know it's only a matter of what you call it, and I don't advocate forcing anyone to shut down their business on days of remembrance, but perhaps more people would take more than one minute to consider what these days mean to all Americans regardless of political affiliation, country of origin or ancestry, or any of the many differences that distinguish us as individuals. I think Tim Cook fully understands the meaning, although posting it on a divisive platform (X) run by a radicalized leader makes me a little squeamish. At least his sentiment is clear.
