MEMORIAL DAY
By Constance Dogood and Richard Poor
We must never forget the sacrifice of those who faced the horrors of war so we didn't have to fight. They faced the sword, mini ball, shrapnel, gas, bombs, and napalm. We have never faced the bestiality of hand to hand combat. We have never smelled burning flesh. We remember their bravery, their sacrifice.
The bravery of the common folk. The teacher, farmer, cop, firefighter, mechanic, electrician, janitor, baker, and countless others. Those who left their world of life to fight in the arena of death. The men, the women. They are the arsenal of democracy.
As we honor those who gave more than we can imagine. We must choose our leaders carefully. The children of the privileged make poor leaders. They have never known the horror of war. They have never known the honor of honest work.Cowards start wars good brave people have to fight.

Fanfare For The Common Man
should be their theme.
As we honor those who gave more than we can imagine. We must choose our leaders carefully. The children of the privileged make poor leaders. They have never known the horror of war. They have never known the honor of honest work.
