My Dad’s First Memorial Day
May 29, 2007 at 7:41 pm (Chicago, Dad, Memorial Day, Worldliness, peace, picture, war)
Tom writes,
This morning we went to Grant Park (downtown Chicago) to see the Eyes Wide Open display. A pair of boots for each American killed in Iraq. Most had names, some had pictures, or something written. Done by the American Friends Service Committee.
Then we walked around the new Millenium Park secton, with the reflective Bean, and when we went back to the car, the number had already been incremented.
This may be the only time I remember Memorial Day having any meaning for me at all. This insanity really has to stop.
