Please put down your hot dog for one moment...

This long weekend is the traditional kickoff to summer. By all means, join the 'Fesser and cinetrix in mixing up a Dark and Stormy. Throw a hot dog, preferrably a Pearl's Kountry Klub on the grill. But do pause for just a moment, and consider that each of the white dots above, representing one corner of one of the many many military graveyards around the world, indicates a man or a woman who would much, much rather be grilling it all up than doing what they were doing on the last days of their lives, and represents an empty place at Thanksgiving dinner, a kid growing up without a parent, parents burying their children, etcetera, etcetera, Remember that.

Well put, Cod. So many have died for so much and for so little.
