AtD: Remembering Memorial Day post.

[Michael Bailey]

Memorial Day - a day to remember what was lost, when conflict raged.
We lost people, people who - odds are - somebody loved and will miss,
people with unique talents and viewpoints.
(and money, trees, buildings, raw materials, opportunities...)

We're still losing people, to the same horror, by the way.  How can
this waste be stopped?
