Memorial Day

The American Memorial Day holiday is upon us . . . or at least upon our friends down there below the 49th parallel. John, of Castle Argghhh, posts a very personal memory to mark the day:

With the permission of my old Army buddy Tony Cerri, and his daughter Sarah, who had to bury her essentially brand new husband, 2LT Leonard Cowherd.

*This* is what Memorial Day is about. Especially as long as my email inbox pings with casualty notifications. Remember — this was written last year.

If you would like a round-up of Memorial Day posts, another Castle Argghhh post should do the trick.
