Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!
Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.

I learned by reading about flag etiquette, for some reason, that on Memorial Day, if you are to fly the flag, you should fly it at half staff until Noon, out of respect for those you're memorializing. At noon, you can raise it up. I avoided the issue (not having the ability to put the flag halfway) by flying it AT noon.

There are two words that sum up Memorial Day - grief and gratitude.

Two have sacrificed their lives for you:
The American soldier for your freedom, Jesus for your salvation.

I always find it a somber day. I think of those that sacrificed and those that were sacrificed and imagine the thousands of lives and what could’ve been.
OP, there could not have been a better quote.

Rest easy Eugene, John, Jack, Ryan, Jason. You are honored and remembered.

My dad is a WWII vet. Just turned 100 last week. He still has nightmares.

That’s a tough thing to deal with. More than 80 years living with that trauma.
I have an uncle who served. He is 101 now. My father died at the young age of 54, partly due to the trauma he suffered fighting in France.
We owe them so much. And there is little we can do other than making a vow that it will never happen again.
