I wish you all the best on this solemn occasion. Enjoy it, though, partly in memory and in part because it's what they would have wanted.

I was wished a Happy Memorial Day. I said, I don't know about happy, maybe Sacred. The waitress stopped smiling.
I kept thinking about the explosions, and the burning oil on the water, going into straining lungs, and the sharks. Especially the sharks. Don't seem very happy to me.

The good wishes may be uninformed in their expression, but generally, they're sincere.
What I object to is the automatic "Thank you for your service." It's just a different form of "Hi, howareya?"

Mr. Hines, what should be said, then? And is "Hi, howareya?" such a bad thing?
