Thoughts on Memorial Day

         One hundred and fifty eight years ago we let our political discussion degenerate into a Civil War that claimed the lives of 660,000 Americans and ruined the bodies and minds of  another million survivors. The nation still bears the scars of that conflict and doubtless will for a considerable time to come. So, amidst the barbecues and merriment stop for a moment and consider the sacrifice of our veterans and those that didn't come back. Pray that we never again let our disagreements get to the point where we are killing each other.
