In addition to this day I like to remember the Wind Talkers on Memorial Day. The only code not broken in WWII.

That proverb is such a powerful and grounding reminder for us all. I completely agreed with Lynette d’Arty-Cross and grandmisadventures on how important it is to honor those who came long before us.

Such a great quote. Now if only more people had the same mentality to try to leave this world in a much better place that we found it.

Wow what a quote, that really made me think. It is truly sad what humanity continues to do to the world, often purely motivated by profit.

Agreed, Hannah. It is tragic. They need to remember that there’s no planet B as they say.
