Not On My Watch

"Life has a certain flavor for those who have fought and risked all that the sheltered and protected can never experience." John Stuart Mill

Monday is Memorial Day, a day in America where we remember those who died in the service of our country. I think we can honor those brave men and women, and support our active military and veterans, without agreeing with every military engagement our country undertakes. In my mind at least, they are two separate things. My older son and his wife both served in the military, and both came home safe and sound. Not every parent is that fortunate. All gave some, and some gave all.

I am thankful.

Susan
