For me, Memorial Day is more than honoring those who have died. Death comes
naturally for a soldier (I've heard that somewhere and it's something that
really made an impression upon me). But, everyone who ever had anything to
do with creating war, going to support it's efforts, staying home to support
it's efforts (as in the case of the article from the Seattle Times), all
kinds of heroes: sung and unsung, they all deserve our moment of pause and
recognition--MORE than on days like today.

But, days like today give us all a collective moment or two to recognize the
magnitude of sacrifice that those people made--whether on the shores of war
or in the cities of our nation to keep her engines moving and take care of
our soldiers and their families and, if you'll think about it, to give those
soldiers something to come home to, even.

PS--Who's "Jimmy" the riveter (or was that a colloquialism for a "man"
riveter?

I thought of today and what it means and came across this article.

I'm sure the fine lady was an excellend riveter, but the copyrighted
article
(you had permission to reproduce it?) has NOTHING to do with
Memorial Day,
when we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

(sigh)

Where's Jimmy "the Riveter" on this one?
