Ilona reminds me, as I enjoy the freedom of our holiday weekend, of the terrible cost of that freedom. The image of all the white crosses and stars really brings it home for me, and I remember those who gave their lives with great thankfulness, and I pray for peace in Ukraine.
Thank you Ilona.
Thank you for this image to remind us again of the sacrifices so many have made over the years. I believe we must find some alternative to wars and violence. I not only believe we must, I believe we CAN. If we have the imagination, the will, and people able to step up and lead us into a future worth living.
