Heartbreaking. I have several family members who’ve been in the military and some of my son’s friends. Hate to think of young men or women going through this…
I feel guilty at times, because I wasn’t in the military, much less a war. My dad and FIL were in Vietnam and both grandfathers were in WWII. I had it kinda cushy, ya know?
I am. War makes zero sense, and I can’t believe lessons haven’t been learned after all of the senselessness of the past. Humans can’t seem to get out of their own way.
A heartbreaking photo and words, but we can never forget the soldiers who died for our freedom.

I think it’s so critical that work like that which moves you, Meg, is seen by EVERYONE possible.
Maybe, just maybe some generation will learn that WAR IS BAD.
