This weekend we remember National Memorial Day. Formally named Decoration Day, it was originally created to remember the dead in the Civil War, both Union and Confederate. It has since been expanded to include the dead from all wars. My family is lucky in that our servicemen tend to make it back from war, but families who send their sons and fathers to war tend to know families who did not get their sons and fathers back. Ours is no exception to that rule, and I pray for those I know who have folded flags in their houses today.
