Memorial Day

I know many have already said to remember those who have fallen for their country, and those are truly those whose memories and lives we should honor.

 

But I want to look deeper.

 

I truly wish to remember and honor the families who lost loved ones in these wars. I want to remember every wife, child, mother, father, brother, sister, even grandchildren who lost those serving our fair country.

 

Now you might ask me, why should we care about them? Is not today the day remember fallen heroes?

 

And I would answer.

 

Why shouldn't we remember them? Though their loved one paid a sacrifice to defending freedom, it is they who must live with it.

 

So yes, honor and remember our fallen soldiers... but don't forget those who miss them more.

And thus the tragedy of war. It may be an honor to fight for your country, but sacrifices take a heavy toll on everyone involved, whether you live or die in the end.

Steven, well said. I'm sure this is an incredibly difficult day for those who have lost loved ones -- definitely a good idea to keep them in one's thoughts and prayers as well.
