As we remember those who have fallen this Memorial Day, I share the thoughts of fellow blogger Larry “Dutch” Woller, a Vietnam veteran.

The powers wanted peace they say,
And while they spoke, bombs were dropped
20 children died that day!

the little & big children are crying,
and those who make efforts
to pick up and care for them
are most compassionate.
thank you, Rosaliene 🙂

Robert, I believe that when the masses of humanity rise up with one voice, the walls of Jericho will come tumbling down. The warmongers and human predators would have no place to hide.

Nice poem to read on Memorial Day. Unfortunately, this day is about the aftermath fighting wars not a celebration of finding peace it seems.

Very true. I’m not proud of this fact. There really are no heroism for those who make war.
