Memorial Day (cont’d)

Last week, I recommended several readings for Memorial Day, and now, a week later, it’s certainly not too late to take the opportunity to visit the exemplary website on that holiday assembled by Leon and Amy Kass. And here’s something else worth reading: a Memorial Day address delivered last week in the Old Cemetery in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, by Stephen D. Trafton, a Harvard graduate who served as a Marine infantry officer in the 1990s and then returned to active duty in 2005-2006, deploying with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit to Anbar Province in Iraq.
