Remembering what we can, what we should, this annual holiday. How much do we recall, recollect?

Perhaps it’s more than remembering those we have served, tho’ that tops the list — maybe it’s also remembering what has been, those in our lives now gone, a more personal, maybe general memorial too.

Those that have given the full measure, it’s their day; it serves us well to remember those who’ve perished in service to our country, our ideals, hopefully not in vain, the pain, their loved ones felt, feel.

Hopefully not in vain do any of us feel the pain of lose, permanent severance, from those we’ve loved; hopefully not permanent, hopefully the memorials help, heal.
