re- parents who served
Carman:
On this rememberence day we must find the reason for these tragic numbers that we honor. 8 million in world war one and 60 million in world war two. It is hard to comprehend the staggering loss of life plus untold mind and body wounds. Surely your generation will find a way to change this tragic deadly spiral that will eventually lead to the elimination of all mankind, as suffering occurs to both friend and foe. There is very little excuse for this tragic human behavior. When you see your buddy fatally bleeding to death and reaching out for help you try to temper this with a young enemy's mother pleading for food for her starving children and realize how helpless you really are. Is this natural selection of which we have no free will? Because we surely are still in the animal state in our behavior. Once again your love for your father and your kind thoughts regarding parents of those who served gives me hope in your generation. The MLU is truly a wonderful forum for true freedom of expression and a tie to our military past because we sit tilted on a ridge of world disintegration.
