It being that we honor those who have fallen in battle on Memorial Day, we should honor the 15,000 Russian soldier who died this day. No, they were not Americans. But, they are the forgotten. We think of all the soldiers who have died. We remember them. But, we have no concern for the soldiers from Russia. They are the bad guys. We have no lament for them.
Or, are they? How many of them fight against their will? How many of them are there only because they are forced to be? Bless them, then. They are more in need than anyone of being remembered this day.
I do always wonder how the typical Russian soldier feels.
