These Forget-me-nots are posted with thanks to Marie Jestin, who replied to my comment that Monday was Memorial Day in the US: "Never forget!!!!! no war --Freedom!"
That brought to mind these words from "If We Only Have Love" by Jacques Brel:
"If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new world
To our daughters and sons..."
I believe that fear and hatred of the "other," a stubborn insistence on seeing differences instead of commonality, underlie all wars, even those that seem spurred by economics. Will you join me in imagining a world where we only have love? Where we see "me" instead of "not-me"?

Driving around looking at Christmas lights I came across this memorial in Lyons Michigan, with it’s lovely Christmas display honoring those who sacrificed there lives during war, I looked at the names listed and could not believe the amount of nineteen year olds who had perished.
Though I haven't taken pictures of the tribute every year, I noticed I've now got a few images from this spot with the new World Trade Center tower in various stages of construction. I guess this one now completes the set.

Le 10 juin 1944, une division SS a incendié le village et massacré tous ses habitants. Les nazis ont tué 642 personnes dont plus de 450 femmes et enfants et ont incendié le village... Ce village est un lieu de mémoire symbole de la barbarie nazie. Marcel Darthout, aujourd'hui décédé, était l'un des derniers rescapés du massacre d'Oradour-Sur-Glane perpétré par la Panzer-Division SS "Das Reich". Il avait 20 ans à l'époque, mais en 2013, au micro de Stéphane Robert, il s'en souvenait comme si c'était hier. Cela s'est passé le 10 juin 1944 en début d'après-midi.

This village is a place of memory, a symbol of Nazi barbarism. Marcel Darthout, now deceased, was one of the last survivors of the Oradour-Sur-Glane massacre perpetrated by the SS Panzer-Division "Das Reich". He was 20 at the time, but in 2013, at Stéphane Robert's microphone, he remembered it as if it were yesterday. This happened on June 10, 1944 in the early afternoon.

There are no second chances in life, no rewind button....
You don’t get a do-over
So if you want something ..... You have to take it and hold onto it tightly before it’s too late.

Memories and thoughts age, just as people do....
But certain thoughts can never age, and certain memories can never fade.

May we never forget. I didn't make it to Jersey City this year to see the tribute from Liberty State Park but the view is spectacular. This was taken last year, 11 September 2014. May we never forget.
The Tribute in Light is an art installation of 88 searchlights placed next to the site of the World Trade Center to create two vertical columns of light in remembrance of the September 11 attacks. It is produced annually by the Municipal Art Society of New York. From Wikipedia.

Twenty-five years ago today, the course of American history changed in a single morning. In a terrorist plot orchestrated by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, 19 hijackers took control of four US commercial airplanes and turned them into weapons in deadly attacks on New York, Pennsylvania and the nation’s capital.
A total of 2,977 people were killed, ranging in age from two to 85. Thousands more, including first responders and others who spent months working at the disaster sites, have since died of cancers and illnesses due to their exposure to toxic ash and rubble.
For 25 years, charities have provided financial assistance to families affected by 9/11 and supported rescue workers facing lasting health problems. Their efforts have helped cover medical expenses, provide financial assistance and fund mentoring programs and scholarships for children nationwide. CNN Impact Your World created a simple way to donate to organizations carrying this work forward.
SE QUESTO E' UN UOMO
Voi che vivete sicuri
nelle vostre tiepide case,
voi che trovate tornando a sera
il cibo caldo e visi amici:
Considerate se questo è un uomo
che lavora nel fango
che non conosce pace
che lotta per mezzo pane
che muore per un si o per un no.
Considerate se questa è una donna,
senza capelli e senza nome
senza più forza di ricordare
vuoti gli occhi e freddo il grembo
come una rana d'inverno.
Meditate che questo è stato:
vi comando queste parole.
Scolpitele nel vostro cuore
stando in casa andando per via,
coricandovi, alzandovi.
Ripetetele ai vostri figli.
O vi si sfaccia la casa,
la malattia vi impedisca,
i vostri nati torcano il viso da voi.
Primo Levi,deportato ad Auschwitz nel 1944
IF THIS IS A MAN
You who live safe
In your warm houses,
You who find, returning in the evening,
Hot food and friendly faces:
Consider if this is a man
Who works in the mud
Who does not know peace
Who fights for a scrap of bread
Who dies because of a yes or a no.
Consider if this is a woman,
Without hair and without name
With no more strength to remember,
Her eyes empty and her womb cold
Like a frog in winter.
Meditate that this came about:
I commend these words to you.
Carve them in your hearts
At home, in the street,
Going to bed, rising;
Repeat them to your children,
Or may your house fall apart,
May illness impede you,
May your children turn their faces from you.
Primo Levi,deported to Auschwitz in 1944
Very impressive show at this sim today glad I got to take it in!

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is an international memorial day on January 27th commemorating the tragedy of the Holocaust that occurred during the Second World War. It commemorates the genocide that resulted in the deaths of 6 million Jews and 11 million others, by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 60/7 on 1 November 2005 during the 42nd plenary session. The resolution came after a special session was held earlier that year on 24 January 2005 during which the United Nations General Assembly marked the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the end of the Holocaust.
On 27 January 1945, Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and death camp, was liberated by the Red Army.
"For ever let this place be a cry of despair and a warning to humanity, where the nazis murdered about one and a half million men, women and children, mainly jews from various countries of Europe Auschwitz-Birkenau 1940 - 1945."
La Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas proclamó oficialmente que se designe el 27 de enero el Día Internacional de Conmemoración en Memoria de las Víctimas del Holocausto. Se conmemora la liberación por las tropas soviéticas del campo de concentración y exterminio nazi de Auschwitz-Birkenau cuando fue liberado por el ejército soviético el 27 de enero de 1945, hoy hace 75 años.
La placa conmemorativa a la entrada del campo de exterminio dice: "Por siempre deja que este lugar sea un llanto de desamparo, una advertencia a la humanidad, donde los nazis asesinaron alrededor de 1 millón y medio de hombres, mujeres y niños, en su mayoría judíos de distintos países de Europa. Auschwitz-Birkenau 1940 - 1945".

Inside the chimney of the brick factory in Concentration Camp Neuengamme near Hamburg, where the inmates had to work until they, literally, could not move anymore.
That was my first visit to a KZ from the Nazi Germany. Words, thoughts even my senses failed me. I am sure, the ones who made a similar visit will understand. It is very hard to think, that so many more places, even much much worse than this one, existed just about 80 years ago, in a country, which gave the world people like, Beethoven, Goethe, Kepler, Heine, Leibniz, Rilke and many more, could give us also such a deep shame and disgrace.

The famous Tribute in Light once again lighted the New York City skyline in deep remembrance on September 11, 2026, the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The twin beams, which appeared as one from my vantage point, extended four miles into the pitch-black sky from the roof of the Battery Parking Garage in Lower Manhattan, were made up of 88 powerful xenon searchlights organized in two 48-foot squares.
The visual anchor was a potent reminder of both the city's lasting resiliency and the 2,977 lives lost that day.
Never forget!!!
*Working Towards a Better World
The Ultimate lesson
all of us have to learn is
unconditional love,
which includes not only others,
but ourselves as well. -
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word. -
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person. To love somebody isn’t just a strong feeling. It is a decision, a judgement and a promise. - Anon
You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. - Dr. Seuss
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear. - John Lennon
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
