Veteran's Day 2010.

[cassiesmom]

In grad school I did my clinical rotations at the V.A. Got way, way more out of it than I ever put in.

Edited to add: We had to memorize the poem "In Flanders Fields" in high school, I believe 9th grade. I memorized it, but I didn't really appreciate it until much later. I think I didn't understand it as a 9th grader. My mom visited the cemetery in Normandy, France and she said she was absolutely flattened by it. I've seen pictures of it but I think I'd have a really hard time seeing it in person.

Please, God, please watch over our troops and those of the U.S. allies today and every day.
