Letters to the Editor — Memorial Day, responsible gun laws, teachers’ safety efforts | Opinion
Here is a letter my father wrote about Memorial Day and those who died serving this great country. My dad served and never forgot those many heroes. He died in 2007, just seven months after he wrote this:
Memorial Day is a day to hang out our flag and to hear speeches honoring our brave soldiers from all wars from Valley Forge to Gettysburg to D-Day and Corregidor Island, Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. True Americans have always answered the call of duty, and as they say, we fight for mom, the flag and apple pie. In other words, for freedom and a way of life we all cherish and love.
On Memorial Day, we will again recognize our deceased veterans. This annual benchmark becomes more somber each passing year with more veterans dying daily. Living World War II and Korean War vets are becoming so scarce that it is difficult to locate them. My generation of Vietnam veterans is facing destiny’s clock as well.
This Memorial Day, if we remember nothing more about the memorial, let us join together in remembering that they are so much more than just names on a wall.Re: “After Uvalde, Will Americans Act? — Nation lacks the capacity to seriously grapple with gun violence, but we must,” Wednesday Editorials.
