Dick Storey
MEMORIAL DAY
Sydney Dunn, from North Carolina, opined that words such as “important,” “noble,” “courageous,” “impactful,” “sad” or “unfair” are appropriate.
I would add observe, honor and say thank you to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. And offer appreciation, sympathy and condolences to those who died later from wounds—physical and mental-that remained after battle (like my Dad—Navy Cross winner and hero pilot in the Pacific). Also a similar offer of sympathy to family, accompanying military members and friends who survived a war but lost a loved one or colleague in conflict.
