He sent me some words last week that I felt were worth sharing. The Memorial weekend is supposed to honor the nation's warriors who have fallen. But that doesn't seem to be happening anymore, and those that our country does honor usually aren't really heroes. If you attended any veterans' memorial service last month, you would have seen that those who took part were mostly veterans and their relatives. Most Americans have all but eliminated patriotism as a source for celebration.
Memorial weekend means that they get an extended vacation, with pay.
When a soldier goes off to war, the sacrifice he and his family makes is tremendous. It seems today that only those who have gone to war have any idea of what I am talking about. Again the movie industry has done itself proud. They released Pearl Harbor on Memorial Day. I think not.
