Happy Memorial Day from Brooklyn

Seen on a chalkboard outside a cafe on Court Street:

To those who gave their lives so we could be free --

Thank You!

Even if we don't know what we are fighting for.

I imagine the arguments inside the cafe that might have led to this wonderfully mixed message: some lining up on the side of patriotism, others lining up on the side of peace. Or is it, perhaps, the dividing line that runs through each New Yorker?
