I appreciate that few people even bother to pretend that this holiday has anything to do with fallen troops.
All the same, as you’re enjoying fun days at the shopping mall or at the beach, please take a moment to remember the troops – especially those who are still languishing in Iraq and Afghanistan (where another eight of them were killed just yesterday).
And while you’re at it, you might reserve a thought or two for the poor folks across the South and Midwest who are literally picking up the pieces of their lives in the wake of a devastating and unprecedented series of tornadoes.
