Memorial Day

I have this  button from a uniform long ago.

I don’t know what war..

But it doesn’t matter. What matters is it is long separated from it’s owner who probably would be appalled at the dingy condition it is in. He probably spent a long time shining this button.

I don’t know if the owner died in combat, or lived to tell his stories of war. I don’t know his name, rank or serial number.

But still I can remember.
