I hope you have a peaceful Memorial Day.

I’ve always thought Walt Whitman’s “Dirge for Two Veterans one of the best poems for this day. It’s honest and dignified: qualities we need to reclaim as we honor those who sacrificed for us.

Good one. Though, I’m seeing more people mix it up with Veterans Day this year. Always awkward to see.

I was working so it was anything but peaceful, John, but it was profitable, so that’s all that matters.
But the significance of the day wasn’t lost on me so that’s really all that matters, isn’t it?
