Joseph Campbell
“On thy grave the rain shall fall from the eyes of a mighty nation”

I try to put this up every Memorial Day. This is a good place for this year. Hope this isn’t the only comment to this posting.
Eleanor Roosevelt carried this prayer during WW2.
Dear Lord,
Lest I continue
My complacent way,
Help me to remember that somewhere,
Somehow out there
A man died for me today.
As long as there be war,
I then must
Ask and answer
Am I worth dying for?
Thanks, Montrose!
