Memorial Day, 2012

On Memorial Day we went shopping, watched a baseball game, quaffed beer, and stuffed ourselves with grilled kebabs.

We paused to remember those who fought for our freedom. The men I knew would have taken pleasure in their descendants' participation in these seemingly frivolous activities. Don't dwell on us, they would have said, your enjoyments are thanks enough.

Too bad, we will always remember.
