Today we give our thanks to
all the young Americans who gave their lives fighting for just causes. Their
lives were precious to them.
Barry Allbright from down our
street had great hopes that he sacrificed fighting for Korea. Johnny Buchart, a
class ahead of me, with a sister in my class, was a casualty from among the 101
Airborne who freed French people from the Nazis.
We don’t know the names of
the 416,000 who died in World War II. Same for the 58,000 who died in Vietnam,
or the 36,000 who gave their lives to free Korea.
When I went back to college
in the late 60’s I listened to the boys who didn’t want to go to Vietnam. Some
off them had to go, without coming back. We offer our sincere prayers for all
of them.
