You may look at Memorial Day as the beginning of summer, a time to gather with family and friends and have a cookout or picnic. But let's not forget what the day is really for- remembering those who gave their lives fighting for America. This poem by Archibald Macleish is from 1940, but it still resonates.
Powerful and true. Especially now that the fascism defeated in WW2 has raised its ugly head again in MAGA.
