While many Americans stop each Memorial Day to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, others not quite as interested in honoring those contributions to America’s freedom instead think about barbeques, getting drunk or having a long weekend.
The Democratic National Committee paused to remember the day by tweeting a photo of President Obama – the commander-in-chief – eating ice cream.
Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! pic.twitter.com/TMBSu187Pb

Meanwhile, others reflect upon the loss that many families are feeling this Memorial Day – and every day.

It was only after being ridiculed on social media did the DNC tweet a graphic honoring the fallen.
But, of course, it had to include our Dear Leader.
Forever thankful for every American who made the ultimate sacrifice. pic.twitter.com/3X7RwDGpQs
