A belated memorial day post

There were a few Memorial day posts worth mentioning.
Seraphic Secret remembers his father, the chaplain.

Blog D'Elisson writes of his feelings on Memorial Day as a Jew

Without America’s fighting men, whose courage and sacrifice in World War II helped tip the balance and ensure an Allied victory, this world would be a dark place...for our enemies had Big Plans, plans that did not include people like me.

And Life-of-Rubin punctuates that with the story of someone who wouldn't have been here without the American army (the story was told 10 years ago)

You were all so kind and so compassionate. But, my years in the camps, my weakened state of health, the forced death march, and my escape to freedom was more than a human body could bear any longer and I collapsed into the arms of you, my rescuing angels."

And of course SerAndEz has a roundup of Memorial Day posts. And let's not forget that he has a reflection on Memorial Day too.

Technorati tag: memorial day.
