For me, Memorial Day is more than honoring those who have died. Death
comes
naturally for a soldier (I've heard that somewhere and it's something that
really made an impression upon me). But, everyone who ever had anything
to
do with creating war, going to support it's efforts, staying home to
support
it's efforts (as in the case of the article from the Seattle Times), all
kinds of heroes: sung and unsung, they all deserve our moment of pause and
recognition--MORE than on days like today.

But, days like today give us all a collective moment or two to recognize
the
magnitude of sacrifice that those people made--whether on the shores of
war
or in the cities of our nation to keep her engines moving and take care of
our soldiers and their families and, if you'll think about it, to give
those
soldiers something to come home to, even.

And very nicely said. It reflects how I feel too.
