Memorial Day thoughts
It's Memorial Day. A day to honour those fallen during wars the US fought.
Mixed feeling - for someone who wanted a military career so much and has a dear brother serving in the military..... strange.....
whatever the cause, i can only salute those who fought and sacrificed for what they believed in, during their call of duty.
to our own men and women serving as peace corps around the world, i also take the opportunity to say that i have always been very proud of you. not many people have what it takes to do what you guys are doing. as they say over here, freedom is not free - it is possible because of someone else's sacrifice.

wah, when I read your blog, I can somehow see the US Stars and Stripes waving galantly in the opaqued background. I hear the cannons boom and the fireworks shooting across my screen. Then a Marine's peak cap and his Sword appear. Flashes of 'Nam, Korea and Iraq and all the fallen soldiers. Purple hearts and the wounded brave. The dead, the maimed and the honored. The broken hearts and broken lives. The pain......
