Dignity in Death

-War is horrible. That really is the nicest thing one can say about it.

-

But there are times, unfortunately, when a society has no choice but to go to war. Think about Hitler in WWII.

-

So we put up various memorials to make it seem more acceptable to have died in war. Outside of No. 10 Downing Street in London there is a memorial to the Glorius Dead.

I saw another interesting memorial yesterday in Veteran's Park in Deming, New Mexico USA. This one refers to men knowing how to die. Honestly, that is a vitally important subject, especially to us older folks. I sure as hell don't intend to die in prison (read hospital) tied down to the bed and hooked up to lots of tubes.
