Today is Memorial Day, a day dedicated to paying homage to the thousands of souls who died during (or as a result of) their military service. I’m saying a small prayer to thank them for their service. I will tell them I hope they are resting in peace.
The image is one that I found recently at an antique store and the hundreds of graves reminded me of the wise words spoken by Death in the The Book Thief.

Heavy quote from “The Book Thief.” Also heavy picture. When you look into their faces… I can’t believe what human beings do to each other.

Yes indeed. War is not pretty and neither is the quote. Can you tell I’m a pacifist?
