Memorial Day
Today we remember all the gallant men and women who gave their lives for their country. Today in Afghanistan and Iraq, yesterday in Viet Nam and Korea, war after war stretching like milestones into the past. What happens when the gardens of stone can no longer name the dead? Will the wind catch their souls and whisper their names to the midnight sky? Or will silence be the lullaby of the forgotten?
- John Cory Today is a good day to think about the price of war. To think hard about what we can do to wage peace so that all the suffering stops. We honor those who heard the call to service, and did not return. We also honor those who return home from war on Veterans Day, some come home whole, others wounded in body and mind, but what can we do to help them? Honor is a thin blanket on a winter night. We need to become more activist and tell our elected politicians that our veterans deserve more not less. Why are we cheap-skating on educational benefits to veterans? So that we can make tax cuts for the wealthiest 5% of the population permanent? Check out Welcome Home Soldier and see what you can do to help Miz'Remy. We thank those who served today with pretty and patriotic speeches and this is a good thing. It would be equally as good a thing to work to ensure the survivors will not be forgotten when they return.
