I can't think of a better way to mark Veteran's Day than with a photo of my Dad, a Purple Heart medal awardee, who survived WWII but undoubtedly had his life shortened by the wounds he received in France. He died at the relatively young age of 59: a good and honorable man sorely missed by his family and friends for more than two decades.Today, I will pray for peace on this planet so that no men and women need to lose their lives because their leaders are consumed by hatred and greed for territory, power and wealth. War is an obscenity which we should have evolved beyond long ago.
