 The pristine alabaster appearing headstones at Arlington National Cemetery along  with the pomp and circumstance of  
full military honors assuage the stark  
harness of war and its results.
March 9,1964 U.S. Army Helicopter UH-1B-62-01961 crashed in the Mekong River killing Sp5 Wyley Wright Jr. and PFC John Francis Shea as Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara watched safely from the shore. (photo of wreckage from Knights Over the Delta: An Oral History of the 114th Aviation Company in Vietnam, 1963-72 by Steve Stibbons)

COMMEMORATING MEMORIAL DAY 2020: REFLECTIONS BY ANH LÊ: 
 
Today, we commemorate Memorial Day.
 
We honor those who have served in the military, and who have died during their military service.
 
We also honor all the children, women, and men, who have died during war, casualties of wars which they did not ask for nor created.
 
We honor the soldiers who died in World War I and World War II.
 
We honor the soldiers who died in the Viet Nam War, the war which ended on April 15, 1975.
 
We honor the soldiers who died in the Iraq War.
 
We honor the soldiers who died in the War in Afghanistan, a war which continues and is the longest war for the U.S.
 
In the Viet Nam War, almost 4 million Vietnamese were killed.  58,220 American soldiers died.
 
In the War in Iraq, more than 1 million Iraqis were killed.  Over 4,500 American soldiers died.
 
In the War in Afghanistan, over hundreds of thousands of Afghans have been killed and injured.  The numbers are probably much higher.  Over 2,500 American soldiers have died.
 
In both the Iraqi War and the Afghan War, the United States president ordered the invasions of both sovereign nations.
