Remembering

I was flipping through a memorial page http://slphistory.org/vietnam/ on FB, showcasing pictures of soldiers hailing from my hometown of St Louis Park, MN. I didn’t know these young men, many who were only 20 when they were killed. I couldn’t help but compare these boys to other current images posted of 20 somethings after the election Tuesday. Are the kids who are demonstrating anything like these boys who never came home? Do kids these days understand what it is to fight and die for freedom while they’re burning our flag? Change, respect and understanding of your fellow American is something we can all take responsibility for. We need to model this to our young people. Now and forever.
