Lest We Forget

The annual opening of Britian's poppy-filled Field of Remembrance honoring all the young men who never got to come home from both World Wars.

My grandfather fought the Germans in France during WWI, my dad fought the Japanese in the Pacific theater during WWII, then to fight the Communists in Korea where he was killed…I went to Vietnam, my son went to Iraq/Kuwait during that fiasco.
No one who sees war gets out of it unscathed. At a minimum, we see things that no one should ever see…and can never be unseen.
