The history of military service for humanity in general is based in three principles:
- Having the courage to die in order to accomplish a hard thing
- Having the obedience to follow orders that may make no sense
- Having the innocence to be willing to die for the resolution of the arguments of old men.
Memorial Day is more than just a three day weekend to get in your car and go on vacation.
It’s about honoring those who fell and died so that we could sit here at write these words in relative peace in this country.
And as an American who happens to have brown skin and thick lips, I will be forever grateful for the 750,000 men and women who laid down their lives on the altar of liberty to preserve the union.
This Memorial Day, go to a cemetery. Lay out some flowers. And thank veteran of any of the recent wars.
-Peace Be With You All-
