What was most important this past Memorial Day?

BY Desiree Huitt

The topics that you think would top the news on Memorial Day would be: improving the VA, decreasing suicide rates among veterans, helping gold-star families, or the legacies of fallen military heroes. However, what seemed to be most important this Memorial Day was the debate regarding whether or not the gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo should have been shot.
