Today is Veterans Day, and a friend of mine shared a photojournal story from The Atlantic from last May on the fading remains of battlefields from World War 1, which ended 100 years ago this year. You can see it here. My dad’s father fought in WW1 on the side of the Germans. He was a farm boy and was needed to drive the horse-drawn ammunition carts that were supplying the front lines. Our family was fortunate that he survived this terrible war and that he emigrated from Germany to the United States in the mid 1920’s. Today we remember the soldiers of all wars and the families they left behind and thank them for their service.
