On Memorial Day

Memorial Day means more to me now that I'm a part time soldier, and I would like to make it to DC sometime to observe the occasion. We lost a few people in Iraq during the final year, and I think it is important to remember what they gave up.

On Grudges

Today is the anniversary of the end of our national grudge against Osama Bin Laden, and I personally was talking to a senior NCO about one of my own personal grudges. It reminded me of a conversation with Josh Shyu - don't remember everything word for word now, but he said that I was the worst at holding grudges when we were talking about a past situation. I think it's a bit of both - I've changed and have been able to let a lot of things go, but there was shit that went down in Iraq that I may never forgive.
