Sadly, I believe that you are correct.

Ya know - all of this lack of acknowledging the day, let alone the people, brings to mind something that falls under the UNITED theme.

Delaware has sent their team of firefighters that specialize in wildfires, out west on several occasions so far in this season that has been devastated by so many fires. Do they not go because it's out west and doesn't affect them, it's not in their backyard or even remotely close, their property, family and animals are not in danger, etc. Do they say "sorry 'bout your luck" (or worse which I can't say here) - it's your problem -- you deal with it? No - they unite with firefighters from all over the country and work as a team.

United we stand - and I do believe that everybody knows the rest of that saying.
