Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

Memorial Day

Today we honor those who fell in their nation's service. Wikipedia has a pretty good entry on the history of Memorial Day.

Our great cause as a nation today is our effort to bring democracy and human rights to the nation of Iraq, fighting against the fascist and insane theocrats who would deny these things to the Iraqi people. You can see a list of those who have given all for this cause at the Washington Post's Faces of the Fallen page.

Thank you. To every one of our brave men and women who have given their lives, or who have stood ready to give their lives, for this noble cause of freedom, I can only say: Thank you! Hail to all of our heroic warrors! Valhalla and Sessrumnir await you. God bless America,
