I read Josh's post regarding the Medal of Honor, and something occurred to me. Obvious, maybe, but it still needs to be said.

Individual acts of bravery and valor are always honorable regardless of the morality of the overall mission. These acts deserve their place in the record books of Eternity and the merits of the war itself have no bearing on their honor.

As for the actions that start and perpetuate these wars, they too have their place in the record books, but they will be dealt with separately by the Great Scorekeeper.

Memorial Day will never be about them.

God Bless our troops.
