I have not been to any observance since I return from Vietnam. I usually go to be by myself. For many years I have been walking the woods and pastures that day. Keeping to myself.

I wish that there was not one person that had died. Then we would not have to remember them. Many forget that freedom is paid for with the blood of men and women. Not some fancy worded paper in some museum.
