Second Lt. Thomas Kelly died in a WWII bomber crash in 1944. This week, he was buried on Memorial Day in Livermore, California. Why is his sacrifice and that of his fellow fallen heroes eighty years ago still so poignant today? President Reagan once said that soldiers who’ve died for our country gave up two lives: the one they were living and the one they could have had. Today’s article reflects on our burden and privilege of living the lives they could not and our responsibility for remembering them by redeeming their sacrifice.
