It's only been recently that we've brought all the fallen troops home. The cemetery at Omaha Beach in Normandy is moving in part because you realize just how far from home and hearth those graves are. I wondered how many had family that could afford to make the journey to decorate the graves. Probably not many.
Sacrifice layered upon sacrifice. That's the message of today, one that's worthy of a moment's reflection.
