Memorial Day isn't about patriotism; it's about remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It's also for their families as a way to show sympathy and appreciation. It may also give some small comfort to the guy or gal who will be dying today and tomorrow.
"We remember with compassion those who have died
serving their countries
in the futility of combat.
There is none of us but must come to bereavement and separation,
when all the answers we are offered
fail the question death asks of each of us.
We believe that you will provide for us
as others have been provided with the fulfillment of
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
