Memorial Day Observance

110 words.

I observed over the weekend that there is apparently an unspoken rule that anyone with a blog is required to make a Memorial Day post. So here’s mine, a day late: I don’t know anyone that died in a war. My grandfather was wounded in WWI, but did not die, for which I’m quite thankful. And my father also did not die in occupied Germany, for which I’m also quite thankful. I’m grateful for their service, but I won’t pretend like I’m honoring them or anyone else by writing a few obligatory sentences in a throw-away medium like a blog. I honor military sacrifice in my own private, quirky way.
