Remember, memorial day is not a day to point out our differences in the politics of war, but to unite in supporting those who put their lives on the line so we may live the way we do.
That said, I would like to put my differences aside with those who think differently about the war in Iraq for today and wish that the troops come back safely.

went to my uncles grave in Palito Blanco to leave a fresh flag. then came home and cooked burgers and hot dogs in unbearable humidity.
Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

I went with one of my friends this weekend to her town and she put memorial flower things on her relatives' graves. The cemetary was so pretty- it was on a hill overlooking Lake Huron.
But yesterday I went to my friend's apartment and grilled stuff. We watched the movie Thirteen. It was... disturbing. Kids look so old now!
this should be not only a time to remember what was given for freedom and justice in the world. But also to remember the horrible thing that war really is. It is never something that should be used lightly or premptively. War should always be the last possible option, never a preventive action. How is it that lives can be worth so little that they are thrown away as a first possible option.

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.
