Happy Memorial Day
I'm off with my buddies again, but I would be remiss if I didn't wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day, and especially to all those who were or are in the armed services--a big thank you. See a related post at Dignified Rant too.
Actually, this project looks interesting. It's starting today: an effort to send the largest shipment of care packages in history to American troops. It looks like a great idea for a great cause. Perhaps you'll look into this or any of the various charitable efforts that are available for doing something practical and useful for the guys and girls in uniform.
I suppose I could now write an entire post full of historical references about the role of the American military in peace and war -- and how it's been a force for good overall from helping in natural disasters to holding the line against totalitarian regimes -- but it's a HOLIDAY, and my buddies are waiting. I'll leave it up to you to think about these issues, OK?
Have a great holiday, everyone!
