Memorial Weekend

 This is my contribution to Memorial Day this year (2022) as death and carnage piles up across this troubled USA nation.  We used to remember the war dead and their sacrifices, the hurt of those left behind, the eventual healing of the land... till the next war!

But now, it is senseless death and mayhem perpetrated by evil only at war with themselves.  And the death by shootings from the hands of two 18 years, one in Buffalo, NY and Uvalde, TX sear into our conscious as to the evil that surrounds us.

It occurred to me as I watched this spectacle unfold that those who gave their lives in sacrifice for our country didn't do it so non-combatants would lose theirs in such a senseless manner.  

So we now remember these 21 and others, along with those from other wars.
