There are very few towns, no matter how small or insignificant, that don't have a memorial to those young men who went off to war and never returned.
On some the list of names is short, on others, all too long, with many families making multiple contributions, brothers and cousins dying together. As we travelled about it was easy to become immune to the fact that each memorial and each name came at a cost far in excess of the marble and granite, in many instances the only place grieving families had to record their loss. So, rather than blasting past these scared places on my next Road Trip, I'll take the time to stop to respect those long passed, and to record each one. "Lest we forget " Comments are closed.
