Meditation Monday: Memorial Day 2015

Kamal (Perfection), 9 ‘Aẓamat (Grandeur), 172 BE - Monday, May 25, 2015 about 10:30 am Pacific Daylight Time

Memories
of Uncle Roy the Doughboy
who never spoke of his experience
in the American Expeditionary Forces
of World War I.

I think back to the years I spent in Blackwell, Oklahoma. I think back to the times I saw Uncle Roy. I regret never asking him about his experiences in World War I.

Memories
of my father
who served in the Army Air Corp
during World War II.

I think back to the memories of my father. I remember him as a tall man and a gentle man. I don't remember him speaking about his experiences in World War II. I regret never asking him about those experiences.
