Days of Gratitude - Day 30

 

For this I am grateful always.  Remembrance Day has always been an important day in our family.  Three generations always marched in the parade in town when the schools were closed for this day.  When they were no longer so handmade poppies from little children brought out the stories that should never ever be forgotten or rewritten to suit those who want to forget certain things that happened.  That human-kind could not be capable of such things but we are.

    Amen. With serving family members back to the war of 1812 (my big sis posted a document from her genealogical research for that one)... American Civil war... WWI and WWII... we skipped Korea, it seems... VietNam... and Iraq and Afghanistan... nope we are still all too capable of these things.

      Sadly yes, we never seem to get the idea of working together instead of winning.
