It's Memorial Day...

...so, once you've had your fun for the day, and taken some time to remember your war dead from your "favorite" war(s) from Gulf War II back to World War II, I hope you'll join me in thinking a little further back. Personally, I recommend contemplating those who served and died in World War I... trench warfare, mustard gas, and massed frontal attacks on machine gun nests, all in a bid to deal with a War to End All Wars. If only for that goal, unattainable as it may be, they deserve to be remembered.

Remember, it's easy to remember the participants in wars where the survivors live on... but that doesn't make the sacrifices of past wars worthy of forgetting.
