I was irked by the big 2-page Macy's spread ad in the Sunday LA Times. I just think it's classless to ride on the coattails of this particular "holiday" to promote your business sales. They'd market better if they didn't mention the sale at all, but said a word of thanks to those who served and gave their lives on behalf of our country. Even a small blurb, along with the sales promotion would have been nice. But how much more powerful a statement to use the entire spread to recognize and acknowledge the honored dead? I liked the honor/duty video. Great images. Nice post, Curt.
