stormdogHaving just been in Washington this past week and seen so many memorials inspired by various wars and conflicts, not to mention having walked through the unending fields of stone in Arlington cemetary, I can't help but be a little more affected by today than I might otherwise have been.
Though I haven't quite gotten to posting my Washington pictures, it seems appropriate to me on this Armistice Day to share one of my many pictures I took in Washington of the memorials to those who worked, fought, and died in our nation's conflicts.
As a friend said, I do not support war. I do support those who choose to sacrifice their time and their lives for their country's and family's good, and those whose lives are torn apart by leaders of men who have fallen to the juvenile level of fighting over getting their own way. Those who've given so much, and often get so little in return.
