We all take off the weekend and plan our first real crack at enjoying the summer. We get together with friends, have cookouts, and generally relax for a short time before getting back into our daily grind. It got me thinking though, that Memorial Day is about war. We mark our calendars but most of us forget what exactly this day is about. The TV plays war movies with our favorite heroes, the theaters bring out blockbuster movies in preparation for the crowds, and the malls mark off a percentage of their prices.
War is something to fear.
What we should be remembering are those who were unlucky enough to have gotten caught in the war. Now here I know many people will misunderstand my stance. I'm not talking about peace, love and happiness. I'm talking about remembering just what the hell happens when you unleash aggression in a big way. Sure we all deal with aggression everyday.
