What follows is an excerpt from a piece I wrote a couple of years ago that remains relevant:
Our people must begin reconsidering their history. Where they came from and where we wish to go. An end to foreign adventures and to militarism should be one of our aims. That’s the best way to honor the memory of the fallen. Perhaps we should also take more time to honor another kind of courage, one that wins no medals and one that is not recorded by court historians. It’s more important than ever that we honor the everyday courage it takes to marry, have children, and raise a family in true, undistorted love of their people and the fear of God. That’s the best way to fight our battle. Our survival depends on that act of resistance.

Great shot of Audie Murphy, looking like a 14-year-old Boy Scout getting awarded a merit badge. Of course, he was only 19 at that time, yet the most decorated American soldier of WWII.
Murphy was known to everyone when I was a boy.
