Saturday morning I joined some friends downtown for the Veteran's Day Memorial Service. It was freezing, and while moments of the ceremony were touching, it was not a particularly moving experience. Except in my thoughts.
I wondered what we'll do to honor our veterans in 20 years. All of the WWII vets will have passed away by then. Will we still remember? Will we still have ceremonial recognitions of those sacrifices? Or will we have moved on to commemorating other conflicts? Will we ever feel the same way about the conflicts in Afghanistan or Iraq? Just food for thought.
Speaking of veterans, I went to an Amos Lee concert tonight. People have been making fun of my odd transitions lately. Amos Lee has nothing to do with veterans, but I did see him in concert tonight, and it was really great.

Yes because that was quite an odd transition, don't you think ;-)
