The sense of loss many of us feel this Memorial Day has little to do with military service, and much to do with the present post-Covid situation we are currently mired in. Locally we have been fortunate compared to other parts of the world where the novel coronavirus has struck hard. Still, it’s not easy to set aside the news of the day to consider our fallen soldiers of days gone by and the men and women who currently dedicate their lives to protecting our freedoms.
