On
New Trajectory, Baldr wrote a touching piece about remembering our fallen military. His conclusion:
But let us remember, that although we rightly show concern
for those who are dying (or surviving) in distant wars, we should also note
that far, far more people are dying from gunfire here on our own soil. People don't like to think about it that
way. They don't want to believe that our
nation is warring against gun violence here.
But at 100,000 shootings a year in the U.S., we can't afford to cover
our eyes and pretend that all is right.
