That is not what Memorial Day is anymore. Memorial Day is mostly about lies, lies, and more lies, with a little bit of truth sprinkled in. Veterans Day is the same thing, and so is Independence Day. By the way, Memorial Day specifically includes millions of Americans who died defending their homeland or fleeing the assault, because they were American and didn't wear official US uniforms.

The US government is part of USA, but the entire intent of the Constitution is that it is not the master of it, but a means to carry out the will of the people, with appropriate safeguards against the tyranny of the majority.

Snowden did not hurt anybody. Some (alleged) criminals may have been embarrassed by having the crimes exposed. From your comment, one might infer you do not care about the millions who died, and millions more who suffered great hardship, largely due to lies, some of which Snowden and Manning exposed. Remember, the information Snowden and Manning exposed are the property of the US people, not just the government.
