I don't give it a second thought. My grandfather's brother, Lance Corporal Henry Hatcher of the Dorset Yeomanry was killed in Egypt during World War 1 by a sniper. In the 1930s and 1940s, the whole country use to stand still for a minute and remember the dead. However, my grandfather use to carry on working. When someone asked him why he didn't stop to remember the dead, he replied that he didn't need one minute a year to remember his brother because he thought about him all the time. Out of respect to my grandfather, I never give any thought to Memorial Day. Henry Hatcher has never been forgotten by our family.
