8. War is such a waste. Especially for the lost soldiers.

Hard to believe, but there are still American soldiers listed as "Missing" from the Revolutionary War.

Of course they have passed, but no one knows where or when, and we will probably never find out.

Tragic.

The thought crossed my mind when someone mentioned "the last soldier" from WWII.
That time will inevitably come to pass.

To all the veterans out there this Memorial day, Thank You for your service to our nation.
Some of us treat you with honor and respect, and not refer to you as "suckers and losers".
