For various reasons, I didn’t make it this year to the parade and services at the Salisbury town cemetery, where a lone bugler plays taps. Everyone has my best wishes for a meaningful Memorial Day. I no longer wish anyone a “Happy Memorial Day” after being told by a wise veteran that it’s a solemn occasion — not a time to be a blithe spirit and celebrate.
