Remembering Fallen Comrades

On July 4, 2008 I posted a piece remembering two of my fallen Army comrades on my Obituary blog.  It's fitting on this Memorial Day weekend to once again pay tribute to their military service and sacrifice.

Memory

The first time a memory slides over us like a wave of warmth, we have turned the corner on our grief. When a once painful reminder evokes a gentle laugh, when we recognize the joy of the present in an image from the past, we have arrived at an important moment. Those memories are being transformed, unmistakably, into messages of hope. (Molly Fumia, Safe Passage, Day 154) (Memorial [Decoration] Day) 30 May 2011)

Memorial Day


You know you can be killed just as dead in an unjustified war, as you can in one protecting your own home. (Will Rogers)

To save the world you asked this man to die; Would this man, could he see you now, ask why? (W.H. Auden)
