US Army, another side

I've been to that spot several times - I make it a point to visit Arlington whenever I'm in the DC area. It's good to spend an hour or so walking the grounds, and to quietly contemplate the cost of freedom.

I often wonder if we'll ever reach a point where freedom is the true and recognized birthright of every person, and where states govern for the good of their people, and where wars of aggression are never fought, and wars of defense are never needed. I wonder if there will ever come a time when we no longer need to pay the cost for freedom.

I'm hopeful, but not very optimistic.
