My family had veterans that served from WW1 to Desert Storm. None were killed, but all had someone to remember that reminded them of the perils of service to the organizations designed to preserve peace with force. My family didn't have to deal with the loss of a loved one to the perils of combat. For those that did, this is the day their service is not forgotten. Society may forget many things, but should never forget those paid the ultimate price.
In Case You've Wondered
My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.
If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com
One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.
I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.
