7. Cold comfort.

I’m sure those named were listed with total, honest reverence, the greatest respect, and sadness, even heartache.

But still…




It’s hard to pick which pain is biggest:
The moms, who ALL remember those hours in that maternity ward;
The widows - I can’t even begin to imagine the intensity of their heartbreak;
The children of those lost, who will never know that departed parent;
The dads who’d been so proud;
Anybody who had a memory of one of those guys, from school or the neighborhood or a first job…

I guess this is what is meant by “a world of hurt”.
