He asked.

I have this super sweet boy in my class that I will miss so much next year. When we had our holiday party some kids brought snacks but he drew everyone pictures. So sweet. And very sensitive.
He asked me what Memorial Day is. I said, It's a day we remember the soldiers that died for our country.
He immediately covered his face and shouted, "I don't want to remember that! I'm hiding in my face!"

Happy (or sad) Memorial Day.
