Is it right for dummy festivals to be celebrated as , Valetines day, grandparents day., techer day, etc while true heroes like Cristobal Colom , Vasco De Gama , Robert E. Lee and others are put in the back burner for forgetfullness on the basis of not understandin the minds of that time-period , on the basis of political -correcteness? A country with out heroes is a dead country! Speak up you say you love America ! Where is your mouth?

We can not undue the past , we can not erase it , what we can do is learn from it ,but we cannot erase our heroes , the men who brought us our history ,our battles our languages , the men who tru mud ,rain , swamp ,on horse ,on foot , who were then in THEIR right time to do this , we can not erase them! We all err! We are erring right now going to space , but when the men get there and start colonising space , other planets regardless of what happens , we can not forget then! There is always books hidden in someplace to remind us of the truth! Bring back our forgotten heroes of yesterday , we can not ever put ourselves in their shoes!

Vasco De Gama was a hero, something people today are very afraid to face! My question is an afront to the people who want To erase the very real history of how we are here! I might not get any more answers , but it shows the cowardice of getting an honest answer!

Its true, although if some countries with a long History would end up with hundreds of hero themed holidays. Also what one man classes as a hero, another sees as a terrorist (Robin hood to the Normans, George Washington to the British etc).

Vasco di gama is no hero, he is a back staber. ahmed bin majid taught what he will never know without him and he leads the armies into the arab gulf, the home of ahmed bin majid.
read the history well my sister

they should be celebrated in a less commercial way. Just commercialism designed to make us feel guilty if we do not spend our money, make your grandparents day every day, tell them you love them!!
