Pausing on Memorial Day

On this Memorial Day, these images from the Vietnam Memorial speak for themselves.







To reflect upon the current war in Iraq and Afghanistan go to http://www.mapthefallen.org/
On the top right this site has a map using Google Earth the can be downloaded and shows where each of the 5,679 who have died in battle since the beginning of the war in 2002. You can zoom in on the fallen soldier's home town, click on their name and learn when and how they were killed.

It must be very moving to be there on Memorial Day. It really keeps the focus on the purpose of the day.
