Perhaps my most memorable, Memorial Day was not on Memorial Day at all. It was earlier on a May morn in an American Cemetery, a decade or so ago. The coastal fog had yet dissipated which added yet another somber, quiet accent over the many white crosses and stars. At Pont du Hoc the sea pounded the Normandie cliffs and beach heads like Utah and Omaha where so many young Americans left their lives for a greater cause... our freedom. There are some that today, that was in vein as Afgahanistan and Iraq and places yet in the daily press and 24 hour news cycle. The world is not just where a bow or a curtsey and redress heals all differences. In the mean time, America's might and resourses must not take a second place in world conflicts and humanitarian efforts, especially as a fragmented Europe, our so called allies, cut loose from there moorings is not a reassuring prospect for American'a own safety.
God Bless America!
