We Won't Forget the Sacrifices

It is difficult for us, the living, to comprehend the dead. We can't understand why some, individually, fought. As a nation, during WW2, we fought for freedom, or our perception of freedom. It is possible that we were the quietest while we were at the WW2 memorial. Perhaps it's because it was a war that we are very familiar with. Perhaps it's because it was a war that many of us know veterans of.

However, it is a surreal experience, just trying to fathom the tribulations that our veterans endured. It is said that we take for granted the freedoms that we have today. We earned this freedom. We can't forget the past; we can't abandon the dead who gave their lives for what they believed in. We may not completely understand what those involved in World War 2, but we will not forget their sacrifices, and it is evident in the thoughtful faces of my peers.
