Memorial Day
-
A friend texted me today - asked if I was watching the ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
I told her no, it was so much of a heartbreak. I knew guys who lost Fathers in WWII, Korea who enlisted
to finish what their Dads had started. A good friend lost a best friend on their team, and he carried his body back out.
We've been to the Arizona Memorial, it's ....a solemn heartbreak. The history of wars... so many folks fought and died to keep us free.
So many lost Americans who served. So many never came home.
I hope it never happens that we lose one more American to battle or terrorism. But the world is getting to be a smaller, more dangerous
place again, it seems. Freedom isn't free.
