Beautiful.<br /><br />I loved the call to remember, but long for peace "one day." <br /><br />No one who goes to war comes back without scars that last and live for a lifetime. It is a brutality that no one should have to endure, but is endured to prevent worse brutality. The scars are passed down to the next generation in so many ways, but also the deep gratitude that flesh and blood stood trembling in the way of mortar and metal against hatred and violence. <br /><br />As a dog lover, I was moved by the description of the dog with tired eyes.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251920708783268740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-87058215223654616052011-11-11T08:04:17.734-05:002011-11-11T08:04:17.734-05:00Colleen took the words from my mouth (or should th...Colleen took the words from my mouth (or should that be, "from my fingers"?)<br /><br />Thank you,Andrea S.http://gdrl.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-78155973489603683482011-11-11T07:59:09.049-05:002011-11-11T07:59:09.049-05:00Dear Dave:

Am I grateful for the sacrifices that have given me the incredible freedom that I have - absolutely. My Dad, my uncles - all fought in WWII. But my deepest wish is that we find another way. That somehow humanity finds a way to leave violence behind. We are so far from that right now - light years away. But thanks for that image Dave of the tank with dust on its treads - maybe someday all the weapons of war will be covered in dust.<br /><br />ColleenColleennoreply@blogger.com
