Happy Memorial Day!
The above linked article is from a political website, but the article is apolitical, and is a well-written "thank you" from an Englishman to the American servicemen who died in World War II helping to defend his country. It's a nice reminder that on a day which, because of the time of year, is frequently thought of mainly as the advent of the summer season of pools, beaches, hot dogs, etc, it should always also be a day of solemn thankfulness to those Americans who gave their lives in defense of our freedom...or, frequently, the freedom of others.
