Memorial Day

  • That's a very good way to make it clear. Thanks.

    Listening to NPR tributes this morning, veterans talk about the screams of dying soldiers, the blood & gore, and stench of death, and bodies laying like railroad ties all along the earth.

    Nothing mentioned about hot dogs & hamburgers & chips.
