A meaningful Holiday?

Yesterday was Memorial Day, a federal holiday in the United States, honoring and mourning the military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. 

While that particular Holiday is also considered the unofficial beginning of summer, to many more, the day is known for being one of the best times to score incredible deals on patio furniture, mattresses, technical devices and more…

So as we walked by the Park City cemetery, we saw a small crowd gathered at its center and heard the bugle call “Taps” also known as the National song of remembrance being played. 

We weren’t prepared to just jump in and attend a ceremony in full swing, but it made me think at some of the “just wars” the United States had fought. 

In many people’s judgment, the most “just” war of all was World War II. I absolutely agree with that view. However, some think that it might not have been totally true, because of the fire bombing of cities and the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
