Our local news is podunk, but I could not believe HOW bad they are till last night, and I still can't believe it. The whole MD focus of their coverage was celebration. Not remembrance. No "war is hell" evident in their angle. Really weird and really upsetting. I suppose one can celebrate freedom, but this day was supposed to be about the cost, always, I thought.

The cost paid by individuals on behalf of a society that had not yet figured out a better way to peace. Real peace.
