From "Eternity" to Here
Thoughts on Memorial Day from Peggy Noonan.
My grandfather (my namesake) served in the Marines. Semper fi.
My father-in-law retired as a colonel in the Air Force. Into the wild blue yonder.
My uncle was a fighter pilot, a reservist called up during the Korean War. He was shot down 30 October 1951 leaving a widow and two daughters.
I've served 11 years on active duty as an AF JAG, and 9 years as a reservist.
The price of freedom is sacrifice and blood. We need to remember.
