What Has Passed

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.
