Decoration Day

It's Memorial Day back home. Good to remember sacrifices, and to be thankful for those who serve us now. Be safe, Andrew and Nathan and all the rest of y'all who are far from your families today.

Time made the Congo its cover story this week. It's pretty good coverage, and I like that they emphasize how forgotten the tragedy is. For people who work in Congo, it's sometimes almost hard to see so much attention focused on Darfur, or on an earthquake in Indonesia. More than ten times as many people have died in Congo. All life is valuable. All people deserve a chance. Why we pick and choose which tragedies to help is beyond me.
