Memorial Day

Remembering those who gave all their tomorrows for our todays.
In my own boyhood, figures such as Jimmy Doolittle, Audie Murphy and John Basilone were household names. And it was assumed that what they had done defined us as well as them, telling us what kind of nation we were. But the 110 Medal recipients alive today are virtually unknown except for a niche audience of warfare buffs. Their heroism has become the military equivalent of genre painting. There's something wrong with that.
There is something wrong with that.

If you read only one thing today. Make sure it is the story from the link above.
