Each marker represents a life taken and a life given. For each one like this here and around the world, I offer a simple, humble prayer of remembrance. Some took up this role by choice, others were sent. All left behind so much life. Since the beginning of time, man has shown that he cannot life in harmony with his brother or his neighbor. Killing and savagery are a part of us. I pray that somehow, some way, we can find some common ground and live with each other in respect and peace so that no more markers need be placed to represent another life taken.
