Memorial Day is right around the corner. This is an opportunity to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield. It is important to remember them and their stories and to put a human face on history.
As part of the “children of the 1960s,” I remember the tail end of the Vietnam War, where we lost more than 58,000 men and women.
Prior to the Vietnam conflict, the “Greatest Generation” lost a countless number of young soldiers to ultimately win World War II. Today less than 500,000 of the 16 million who served during World War II are still alive.
So , it is important for us to remember all of them and to appreciate for having people like them walk the earth.
