Happy Memorial Day

I can think of nothing more fitting on this Memorial Day than to observe both the dead of war and also that fact which is too evident though it is oft forgotten: War kills young men and young women indiscriminately, for War is not a member of any nation save that of Strife and of Blood. But soft, let us listen to Mr. Twain. He knows more of war and conflicts and of America than the whole lot of us put together.
