I think that we should consider ALL those who have sacrificed themselves for what they believed in the greater good. All around the world, in many conflicts and at many times men, women and children have sacrificed themselves for others.

Some have been misguided, in my opinion, and we should look to educate all to minimise the occurances of these type of sacrifices, however, we should also build upon the sacrifices of all to further us towards the goal of world peace in the face of the likelihood of it never happening.

Happy Memorial Day? Not for me but I am happy in the life I lead. I have benefitted from the ultimate sacrifice given by others and I acknowledge that.
