May 25, 2015, Memorial Day
Since our own Civil War in the 1860's, more than 1,250,000 men and women, immigrants and natural born citizens of the United States of America have died so that my wife and I might have this one brief moment of peace and beauty on our farm. And we should never forget the wounded, the maimed and the forever changed, whose names do not appear on the rolls of those killed in battle, but are casualties just the same.
Except by reflecting on our freedom, we can never, never do honor to their sacrifice. They would be proud of the moments they have given you and me, and we should take just a moment to remember them.
