Memorial Day in my 30s
I have known some mothers like that mentioned here in my time. Having not served myself, but knowing many who have, I have seen the other side discussed here. I have sat with soldiers/vets who have lost friends, and with mothers, brothers, and sisters, who have lost family. It is nice to see a veteran who thinks of those back home. (Even if it takes a little while. 😉 ) Too many people do not think about any of this at all, even on Memorial Day.
