This brought to mind the from Major Sullivan Ballou to his wife:

It was read on Ken Burns’ The Civil War set to the music of _Ashokan Farewell.

Easy solution: Don’t start so many wars, then you don’t have to remember so many fallen soldiers. But hey, those big pickup trucks need cheap fuel to run on, right?

Poignant.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

azzir and timsixty9, yes, exactly. Thanks, Sgt Ehney.

Nicely done guys.

One look and tears sprang to my eyes. Beautiful tribute!

Thank you for this wonderful panel today.

So much harm is done in this world by people—men, mostly, make no mistake—who are trying to acquire or hold onto illegitimate power at any cost.

That said, the image is a moving one. I’d say the best I’ve seen this Memorial Day. The message in most editorial cartoons is somewhat “institutionalized”. This puts the hurt where it belongs.

All is said in the images a most powerful statement of what is paid and what lingers long after.

Thank you, John and Scott. Very nice.

Sniff….sniff…
