True, the dead are out of sight. But they shouldn't be out of mind. When alive, they heeded the call when others their age, and just as able-bodied, closed their ears and averted their gaze.
War took them from us without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, age, gender or sexual orientation.
On Memorial Day -- as every other day of the year -- they will be mourned by wives, husbands and lovers; parents; brothers; sisters; sons and daughters; cousins; nephews and nieces; neighbors; and that special group among the heartbroken -- grandparents.
The fallen deserve more. The nation, in whose name they died, has a debt to pay. Feed those cash registers and down those beers another time.
A day of honor is not too much to ask.
