"Memorializing"

There was not much memorializing this Memorial Day Weekend. At church Sunday morning we were to observe a moment of silence but then it wasn't silent as the piano player played for that 3 seconds in honor of lost Veterans. In our congregation I know there is at least one woman who lost a husband in Vietnnam but in all the years I've attended I can't say that her loss has ever been acknowledged.
Monday I did give thought to those Americans who have sacrificed their lives in service to this Country. A thought and a prayer of thanks that was interrupted by a phone call. Shamefully, I let a phone call steal that away from me.
