(by John Moore)

It can be difficult to know how to observe Memorial Day, especially in these times when people are so divided and there are so many voices out there that are promoting cynicism and apathy.  For me, though, these images sum up what Memorial Day is all about.  It’s not day for celebrating war.  It’s a day for honoring those who lost their lives fighting for this country and it’s a day to hope for peace.  It’s a day to give thanks and to pledge that their sacrifice will not have been in vain.
