I read of many of the WWII veterans that are being sent by their communities to view the Memorial in Washington D.C. to commemorate the huge sacrifice of that generation before they are able to go. A good and noble thing to do.<br><br>I can't help but think, if we could do something significant enough that we could build a memorial to peace, there would be no need to build any more war memorials, then we would know that we had truly accomplished something.<br><br>Sir Richard of WindsorSir Richard of Windsornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489310405541465454.post-82247955935787977582007-12-07T13:48:00.000-08:002007-12-07T13:48:00.000-08:00Both fellow Knights have "said it well" ...Both fellow Knights have "said it well" with their comments. My wife and me just saw John Fogerty in concert. He sang a song, "Deja Vu", showing scenes from the Vietnam War but the lyrics speaking about what's going on in the world today. The reality is that "Giving Peace a Chance" is actually more fearful than "Making War"! Peace is hard, war is easy. There are times when war is a unavoidable and must be waged. That's why we have Knight's. I believe Pearl Harbor was one of those moments. My father was in the Navy and lost friends on those ships. He never forgot them, nor their sacrifice. Today, my son is joining the Army. I pray that if I have to hold his flag someday instead of him that his life, and God forbid his death, would not be in vain. Not because he chose to serve his country, but because his country actually served him! That is not so much the case in Iraq. The only way that War is righteous is that if the good outweighs the bad. Is that true today? You must decide!Sir Hook of Warrick aka "David K Wells"http://www.blogger.com/profile/14036130304612683613noreply@blogger.com
