As one tries to recover from the sickening worship of war conducted on PBS yesterday, here is the beginning of a veterans interpretation of the meaning of Memorial Day. Link follows:

A Memorial Day Press Release from some American Veterans
by Jay Janson / May 31st, 2010

We Remember War Victims of all Nations!! Mourn War on Memorial Day!

Some American veterans of wars call for a return to the healthy purpose for Memorial Day, which in Columbus, Mississippi, April 25, 1866, was to bind its town and the nation together in mourning the million-and- half soldiers who died killing each other during our tragic Civil War. A day for mourning the dead of both sides, civilian as well as military, in national fellowship intended to put an end to hatred for the other side, end lust for war to settle differences and see a United States of America restored.
