Today is our Veterans' Day, as it is your Remembrance Day. An appropriate and touching post.
Our towns have the cenotaphs, too, though not as many as yours. the most moving, to me, is the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC, the brilliant Black Wall with the names of all those lost in what I consider the War of My Generation. I visited it once. I walked in one side and came out the other shaking and weeping. So much loss.
