Memorial Day

Each Memorial day I think of Jake's family friend who died in the war of our generation.

I feel like we as a people are so disconnected from the war.  

Maybe that's a good thing, but I feel like maybe it is the reason the war is still going on 12 years later.

its target and landed 100 yards from them in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
