Joe,
You might be bit literal in your response to "honoring the dead". We're not lighting incense and worshiping them. To me it means honoring their memory and the MEANING of their life. I clean my Civil War vet great-grandfathers headstone each year and put a small US flag by it on Memorial Day. Do I worship him-NO. Do I respect and pay my honor to a man who left his farm and went with his neighbors to do what he thought was right at great personal sacrifice-hell YES! Does it remind me to live my life sacrificially and respectfully and help others today who make the same sacrifice- YES.
That to me is "honoring the dead" because I respect the meaning of what they have done. I pay the same honor to the troops today; doesn't always have to be a parade. Every chance I get I shake a hand and say "Thank You" as we all should. Grub
