Memorial Day: A Moment to Praise, Think & Remember

The ridiculously high prices Americans are paying at the supermarket might influence how—or if—they vote in November.

At a moment in history when there are so many conflicts among peoples here and abroad, let us put our differences aside and celebrate this wonderful season in a spirit of togetherness.

The news announcing the death of Henry Kissinger, the last of the prevaricating politicians and so-called statesmen who stole my future and that of thousands of other young Americans, got me thinking about Walter Cronkite.

The world today is full of conflicts, some of them violent and deadly. Fortunately, the United States, while it has taken sides in many cases, is not yet directly engaged in any of the fighting. That is all the more reason to celebrate Thanksgiving 2023 for the blessings that we have and enjoy.

Let us pause on Veterans Day 2023 to reflect on the many millions of men and women who for nearly two and half centuries have answered the call to defend our nation— and who continue to do so now.
