I ask myself …
How much do we owe the past?
We look at our times through an instagram lens
As though we are the first to feel such pain and ask such questions …
To feel the enormous task of responsibility before us ….
There is a certain amount of gratitude owed here…
It was only 70 years ago
40 years ago
20 years ago
It was a lifetime ago and only yesterday …
I’ve asked myself if I should keep a journal, surely I won’t forget these times …
But how much have we already forgotten…
D Day had a loss of 4K plus
Filmmakers documented it and couldn’t even show the footage, it was too graphic and too painful ….
Those who came before us
Sacrificed so much …
Believing that if tyranny ever repeated itself …civilization could not survive it…
We owe it to the past
To ourselves
To take ourselves and our communities seriously…
To tell these stories and remember …
Regarding Samuel 
To tell these stories and remember 🙂
