Great article about remembering those who lost their lives in war in a way that does not glorify war but instead holds the seriousness of the death and destruction that war causes and working for peace.
“In my mind, today should be more of a day of mourning than a celebration. We need today to become more aware of the realities and the real costs of war.
We must not forget.
We must not forget the lives lost.
We must not forget the limbs lost.
We must not forget the mental stability lost.
We must not forget the veterans on the streets and those who pull up chairs to empty plates.
War is hell – and frequently the other side of war is a living hell.
We must not forget.
It’s the best way to honor those who served and lost their lives.”
