A Memorial Day Note

No holiday is likely to be more important, on a personal basis, than this day for those who have served in war.

Each of us recognizes the random nature of combat.  Some die; some don’t.  Soldiering skills usually have little to do with fate’s choice.

So those of us who serve – or have served – are grateful, indeed, to be alive and deeply mourn our fellow combatants who will never come home.
