As we celebrate Memorial Day this weekend, it’s worth remembering a celebration that didn’t happen. It was the spring of 1783. The soldiers of the Continental Army had, after eight long years, defeated the British and guaranteed America’s independence. The Revolutionary War was over. A final gathering and gala parade were planned.
Great article Jack, just reinforces the age old dilemma of the wealthy and connected vs your everyman. I think Marx wrote about this. Still unresolved!
Seems incredible that Congress could be so callous and apparently ungrateful. Makes me wonder how we managed to win the war.

Makes me weep for then and now.
Is it so hard to be honorable and fair and just? Why
Thank you Jack.
