the best and worst of a day in retail

Remember

Those who have served. Those who have supported them. Buffalo Soldiers and Lionesses. Citizens and not.  They have suffered at the hands of enemies and far too often have harmed themselves. At 3:00 p.m. tomorrow, a grateful nation honors the fallen.


SOLDIERS
The woods of Courton July 1918

We are like 
The leaves
Of Autumn
Upon the trees

-Giuseppe Ungaretti (my translation)

    SOLDATI
    Bosco di Courton luglio 1918

    Si sta come
    D’autunno
    Sugli alberi
    Le foglie.
