MEMORIAL DAY

Today we honor those who gave their last full measure of devotion for our country; the price of freedom. Pete Seeger wrote a song in the 1950's called "Where have all the flowers gone?"  In another verse it asked, "where have all the soldiers gone?"   Starting with the Korean Conflict, the U.S. has made a concerted effort to bring every fallen comrade home for burial.  Where are the others?  I cried writing this.
