In Memoriam
Being a weekly paper, time and space do not always afford us the ability to write everything we want when we want to do it. These past few weeks, inundated as they were by floods both real and political, left us to hold off until this issue the chance to contemplate more soberly on the meaning of the Memorial Day just passed.Yet even as we try to write of it, we find the simple monuments to the lives we honor speak better and more clearly than any words we might struggle with, regardless of how well intentioned they may be. One looks at the dates, considers the times and there is really little more to say.
We give space then, here, to the one generation that we owe, perhaps, the most to. A generation that has been leaving us now in these past years, and one which will have passed from us completely before much longer. The monument is right there, in front of York Town Hall. You cannot miss it, and all you have to do is stop.
