(U.S. Memorial Day, 2013)
Today we’ll hear about those who’ve died for our freedom. And they surely deserve to be honored. But if our children and grandchildren are to live in a world with fewer war deaths, they also need to hear powerful anti-war voices. Because the best way to honor fallen warriors is to use the freedom they won for us to promote peace.
