Here's my small Memorial Day tribute.
First, this powerful picture (above) of a French girl decorating the graves of fallen American servicemen in France in 1945 shortly after VE Day (May 8, 1945).
Second, this powerful song by Christian musician Ray Boltz. It's called Fallen, Not Forgotten. You can watch the video here. Pay special attention to these lines in the song:
"They left behind their families/And the towns where they were born/For the rice paddies of Vietnam/And the sands of Desert Storm/They were soldiers in Korea/And World War One/And World War Two/They paid the price/Some gave their lives/And they fought for me and you."
Finally, check out these photos of the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. I've had the privilage of visiting there. It's truly a wonderful memorial, located on the Mall adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial.
