The money spent on memorials and the time spent looking at them with tears in our eyes does little to make amends for the suffering and loss of life. One day perhaps we'll not need any more such memorials. Whether the US has taken a step in that direction this week remains to be seen.
Fine post for Veteran's Day, Jack. It is good to honor those who served our country. BTW, thank you for your comments today. I appreciate your opinions. I noticed many fewer political signs this year than any recent election. Perhaps candidates are relying more on electronic media.
Regarding your comment at my post the other day, the fall shots I'm showing were all taken at some point in October, though I've only finished taking fall shots last weekend for a post or two that I'll have to get to in December.
