Quite a different scene. It’s easy to forget the bloodshed when it’s washed away…but we need to always remember.

Miami Dade County is now over 50% foreign born now and it saddens me that there is very little knowledge of or respect for our American heritage.

I grew up watching many movies from my parents’ generation. The movie “All Quiet on the Western Front” (1930) made a deep impression on me The scene where the soldier reaches for the butterfly … powerful.
“When it comes to dying for your country, it’s better not to die at all,” Lew Ayres (played by Paul Baumer).
Your illustration has the same impact. It is haunting. Too bad we don’t learn from history.

All Quiet on the Western Front is a television movie produced by ITC Entertainment, released on November 14, 1979, starring actors Richard Thomas from The Waltons fame as Paul Baumer, and Ernest Borgnine as Katczinsky. It is based on the book of the same title by Erich Maria Remarque.
This remake did a fine job as well. I read the book when I was 15 I think.

It is said that the fields of Gettysburg are one of the world’s most haunted places. It’s not hard to imagine why.
