This edition’s prompt: write about summer arriving, bringing hot weather with its pleasures for all of us and its risks for homeless people. Or how about Memorial Day? Are you a veteran, or is someone you know? Do you have any reflections on military service, veterans, or larger issues of war and peace?
I love the last weekend in May, because I’m celebrating my birth. My birthday is the 23rd of May. I also know many a veteran; my father is included in those war heroes I know. It pains me to know that people about my age are being remembered for dying in wars. Being a youngster myself. I support our troops, but I am opposed to collegebound students ending up in the cemetery before even touching the classroom. My prayer is that as we remember our vets of the past, we don’t forget our vets of the future.
