Memorial Day

You can say what you want about whether or not we should be in Iraq (and I've dealt with that one way or another here), but at least we're doing something right. You can read it up close here, or go to the source by clicking on the illustration. This sort of humanitarian aid to an occupied nation is typical of America, and is virtually unprecedented in human history. You got a problem with that?

Oh, and don't forget to pause for a minute at three in the afternoon today.



(LATER TODAY...) While I was out, I stopped in the nearby city of Falls Church to watch the Memorial Day parade. I caught one of my perennial favorites in any parade, a pipe and drum corps. It is a scene played out in towns and hamlets throughout this land of ours. But for those of you who didn't get to see any parade at all, sit back and watch last year's edition from Danbury, Connecticut. The clip is 25 minutes long. Maybe there's a memory in there for you somewhere. (For those who prefer their tributes in smaller doses, click on the "YouTube" signature on the clip; there's more where that one came from.)

God bless America. HOO-rah.
