Another Memorial Day Wish
Yet Another Memorial Day Wish
By Carl Kruse
It is Memorial Day once again in the U.S.A., that time the nation honors its soldiers who died
in combat. As I do everoMenorial Day, I take some time to reflect on war and death, wishing
that in some future — which seems impossibly distant — we no longer see people of any
country killed in war, and that we see an end to wars themselves. Until that unforeseen and
far-off day I hope that governments place the lives of soldiers in harm’s way sparingly, only in
the utmost of need and for the highest purpose. This wish might seem like fairy-tale
dreaming, but cannibalism was also common long ago and nowadays is viewed with disgust.
My hope is we could eventually do away with war.
