today I remember and give thanks.

Today, in the United States, we celebrate Memorial Day.  Living in Europe, on days like this, I feel far from home.

I pray that my sons never know war.
I pray that we seek peace through justice.

To those who have known war and paid the price in pursuit of peace and justice, I give thanks.

Today and always. We stand together.

The Price
