At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Have a good Memorial Day, you guys in the US.

Radio Story of Mem Day in Belgium
Stories like that touch my heart. No one would blame that village if they just quietly dropped their observance, since the events happened almost a hundred years ago. But they don't. They remember, and the whole town turns out, and the kids learn enough American English to sing "The Star Spangled Banner". I'm humbled.The smallest of the official American war cemeteries, just 368 graves, is Flanders Field in Belgium, made famous by the poem written in 1915. The tiny city closest to the cemetery is Waregem, and every year since 1919 (except for four years during the WWII occupation) Flemish schoolchildren have learned and performed the Star-Spangled Banner in English on Memorial Day weekend. The mayor of the town was himself one of the "singing children of Waregem" as they are called and is said to be very proud of the tradition.
Thanks.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Thanks to all those who made this country possible through their sacrifices.

Ja Mata, Tosa.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
This day sounds somewhat like ANZAC day here, basically a nationwide funeral to grieve the lives of those young foolish men lost to war and reflect on the futility of war.

for all soldiers who died fighting for worthy causes.
BLARGH!
God Bless the troops.
