    Sad that we have wars where we need to later memorialize our dead in the first place tho, eh?

    History and origin of Memorial Day: http://homeschooling.about.com/cs/unitssubjhol/a/memorial.htm

    I was watching a show on the history channel about Star Trek, which brought to mind that as a kid in the 50's, I'd hoped that we'd have lasting peace on Earth by now. In 50+ years, nothing has really changed.

    Unfortunately, it's not man's nature to live in peace with his neighbor's.. :(
