A Day Not to be Forgotten

You never forget the day you enlisted into the armed services. And you never forget the day when your son enlisted.

One wonders if there will be a time when he is called to combat. One wonders. And worries.

In this conflict-ridden 21st century, we never know.

So perhaps it is apt that the first plant I chance upon today was the Plumeria rubra - the Polynesian red version.


So here's to all the men and women, drafted into service throughout the world. May courage find your heart as you strive to defend the peace. My hope is that they will never have to use their training, skills and equipment for the destruction of humanity.
