Today - June 6th - celebrates D-Day with its attendant massive loss of lives - and National Donut Day.
There is something unsettling about this to me. Donut Day is frivolous; D-Day is anything but.
A friend helped me out by doing some research and apparently the first Saturday in June is and always has been claimed by the donut people. I think it would have been tactful of the donut-ters to hold off for a day. But they didn't and here we are. I for one am not happy about it.
Mentally I pulled up all of the photos I've seen of cemeteries with row after row of graves, with plain white crosses, each surmounted with a small American flag, flittering in the breeze. Much more soothing than any donut could have been.
