    The people who order these expensive, pointless wars never seem to be the ones whose sons and daughters have to fight and die.

  2. Carol, I just view the photos on FaceBook and came by here to see if you had yet posted about today. I don't know how I missed this one yesterday!

    Other than what I wrote to you on FaceBook a couple of minutes ago, I save my further comments for your post about the event.

    Other than saying that I am very impressed by what I saw and my heart goes out to all who wore those empty shoes and boots.

  3. You are right, Indigo. Maybe it should just be the people who call for wars that have to fight.

  4. Thanks Nick. I'm tired from a long day. I'll post tomorrow. Many thoughts. Meanwhile, I'll type out the prayer that a minister gave at the event and I'll send it to you. I think you will appreciate it.
