Parris Island Marine Corps Recruits, WWI |
Today, we remember all our veterans, but to me, this day seems mostly about remembering the veterans of The Great War.
“The muffled tongue of Big Ben tolled nine by the clock as the cortege left the palace, but on history's clock it was sunset, and the sun of the old world was setting in a dying blaze of splendor never to be seen again.”
― Barbara W. Tuchman, The Guns of August
