Memorial Day is tomorrow. It started after the Civil War and was meant to honor soldiers killed in action. I remember men I trained with who never returned to the United States alive. However, few came home from any war unchanged. What you see and do in a battle changes you. You may have come home with no physical wounds or wounds that only left physical scars, but you’re permanently altered. An expression says that you can’t ever go home again because things change. For a soldier, you can’t ever be the person you were because you changed.
This Memorial Day, let us remember those killed in action plus all the men and women who will never be the same because of a war.
