After the death of a friend, would you tell the family to enjoy a "Happy Funeral ?" The day honors those who've died serving the country.
Don't Say "Happy Memorial Day"

My brother is texting all the veterans he knows to thank them for their service.

^That’s what Veterans Day is for. Memorial Day is about the dead.

Can you imagine some DLer deadpanning: "You do realize that Memorial Day commemorates DEAD soldiers, right? So, you've basically suggested I be happy and enjoy a funeral."

Say "Have a Blessed Memorial Day!" instead.

Yeah but don't people wish you a Good Passover, which is a holiday giving thanks that the Angel of Death only came for the Egyptian children, because the Egyptians didn't mark their doors with sacrificial blood?

Remember in his first term when Trump wished everyone a 'Happy Good Friday' - the saddest day on the Christian calendar ???

It shouldn't be called "Good" Friday.

Memorial Day is for remembering the dead and the unofficial start of summer.
Veteran's Day is for thanking people for their service.
Vets don't get free lunches at Shoney's on Memorial Day.
