I thought this would end with WW II. It should not still be going on. Memorial Day is a very sad time for all of us, we should be ashamed that we as humans cannot control the hate in the world.
BG, the late, lamented Rocky Mountain News had a Pulitzer Prize winning special report about a USMC casualties assistance officer as he performs his duties.
Photojournalist Todd Heisler made three photos that are especially haunting: the first, fourteenth and eighteenth. The rest are all moving in their own right.
That photo was taken by the great John Moore, a photographer who graduated from the University of Texas in the late 1980's. I worked with him at the campus newspaper, The Daily Texan, and he was producing great work even then. No, surprise, he's got a Pulitzer Prize under his belt.

The photo is in this rendition of Pete Seeger's classic. It changed my view of war.

On this Memorial Day, let us all say a quiet prayer for those who have given the last full measure of devotion.
