Those would be the Memorial Day ads. It is especially frustrating to hear about LaZ-Boy furniture and their Memorial Day Sale!!! At least Buick/Pontiac/GMC dealers are attempting to combine patriotism and supporting our troops with sales. Unfortunately, on their websites, they completely fail to mention the A Million Thanks organization that is promiently displayed in their TV commercials. Just promoting their cars and sales. Cuz that's what Monday is really all about.
While I am on the topic, check out a few posts about Memorial Day that are already beginning to pop up:
Blackfive: Memorial Day - How to Honor the Real Heroes

Here via Badger 6 - I wrote about this yesterday on my blog in a post called: Memorial Day - The Lost Holiday A very astute comment by Mr. Robert Stokley is attached to that post also.
David M - thanks for the link to your post.
I agree - our local newspaper will have a tiny little article on Mem day but then a loadful of sale papers. Doesn't make sense.
Thanks for your links. I loved the beautifully written post from Blackfive. Very poignant.
I hate that too! I mean, honestly, who actually says "Oh, it's Memorial Day! I've been meaning to get a new couch!"
Of course, there are people out there who do. But Aarrgh!
Ok, Done now.
