“War itself is, of course, a form of madness. It’s hardly a civilized pursuit. It’s amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace.” -Walter Cronkite
This year may each of us take a moment to REMEMBER all who made such great sacrifices so we could enjoy the freedoms we have. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
