On Friday, I posted about Memorial Day Weekend without discussing the reason behind Memorial Day. I'm lucky that I haven't lost anyone close to me in a war--privileged that I can enjoy the holiday without a personal death shadowing my celebration.
Memorial Day was created to honor the Civil War dead and was later expanded to honor the dead of all wars. But what of the survivors? We need to honor them by helping them make the transition back to civilian life. We need to support all the victims of sexual assault in the military.
Thank you for all your sacrifices.
