Probably the 'happy' part comes from when it was known as Decorations Day and people would decorate the graves and memorials to honor the fallen.
TC loved the links and had to struggle with tears.
Me and my Mom just hung our flag up about 11:00 p.m. We want to honor all the brave men and women in all services, either military, police, fire department and all others who've laid down their life to save another.

No, we don't say "Happy Memorial Day."
But we do honor the fallen.
