Memorial Day, 2007




Five years later, we 'celebrate' Memorial Day. We go to a small town parade; watch the color guard and the crowd as children carry flags; old soldiers wipe tears from their eyes and parents instruct their children to stand for the national anthem, to hold their hand over their hearts! How important is this day REALLY to most people? My heart goes out to every parent, wife, husband, brother, or sister who has lost a loved one to this war! Where do we go from here?
