Memorial Day
I love waking up on days where I have the day off from work. I wake up happy to make a big pot of coffee and sit in my apartment surfing the internet on my Mac. Today I was reading the NY Times online, a staple to my daily internet surfing, and found this article about children who have lost parents in war. I was reading, wiping tears from my face and thinking of the children on the other side of war, who live in cities destroyed by bombs and chaos, without the opportunity to go to counseling, living without the support of lost family members. I then watched a NY Times video on Arlington–about how Arlington is running out of space for fallen soldiers. Will it end?

It’s so sad that war appears to be a mainstay of humanity. We can only hope for a break in the insanity.

As a former refugee child, I know what it feels like.
Light a candle in memory of our dearly departed heroes.
Happy Memorial Day.
God bless.

Actually, they did - at least twice:

My only thought why it is not adorning the front page of the New York Times may be due to the fact that 9/11 happened nearly half a decade ago.
Perhaps some research (and spellcheck) would have saved you some time and the unfortunate end result of looking quite foolish.
