It is, of course, Memorial Day weekend.

It’s always seemed a little presumptuous for me to come up with something that fits the occasion. Our war dead know what they gave up, so that we can have our comfortable lives. And can those of us who didn’t give it all up really get what it means to do so? …I don’t know.

So, have a thoughtful Memorial Day.

  1. Resting together ’til Judgment Day.
    Love and tears for the blue,
    Tears and love for the grey.

  2. “The most noble fate a man can endure is to place his own mortal body between his loved home and the war’s desolation.”

    in memory, RAH
