Memorial Day 2023

[Tibs]

Have a blessed Memorial Day, with solemn gratitude and remembrance for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

“A battle lost or won is easily described, understood and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.”

— Frederick Douglass, 1864

“This is the day we pay homage to all those who didn’t come home. This is not Veterans Day, it’s not a celebration, it is a day of solemn contemplation over the cost of freedom.”

— Tamra Bolton

Sorry to hear that. There's so much I could say about the war in Afghanistan but not today.
