Veterans Day reading

Veterans Day doesn't get a lot of respect in this country. I'll look at that later, but for now, here are a few posts to hold you.

Effect Measure has a short meditation, and Edna St Vincent Millay's great poem which begins

I shall die
but that is all
I shall do for Death

Orac has a post as well, a video and Flanders Fields.

Updated at 4;17 to add

Olvlzl has a very short but heartfelt post at Echidne's place.


And here are two pieces from My Left Wing, Betsy's Dear America: Letters Home, and it's simple IF you ignore the complexity's Sabbath Time #66 - Victories and Losses

And again at 7:15 for this
A great Daily Kos diary entry on Canada in WWI.

And from Thought from Kansas, Woodrow Wilson's last Armistice Day speech

Read them and remember.
