A Grave Remembrance
Posted: May 27, 2024
Thoughts spurred by a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier…
army.mil
It’s a day
to pause and ponder
grave reminders
that call to mind
those who
lost their lives
that our freedom
might be found.
Monuments
that speak of sacrifice
(both large and small)
help us to recall
the currency of loyalty
used to purchase
that which we
too often take for granted.
And so today
we honor the memory
of those
who shed their blood
while waging war
to win our peace.
