I know it’s Memorial Day in your Country, friend Carlos … We have Remembrance Day here in Canada … They have similar days in Europe and prolly all over the world ,,, none of which don’t do diddly for me … All i wanna know is: Why ddi my then 45 year old roma grandmother die some where in Siberia? And why should my 89 year old mother still cry about that to this day? Anyway … Love, cat.
My extended family on both sides sent several dozen men during WW II. They all returned. Ironically some were in the invasion of Italy where their parents were born. Yes, I found this painting profound too both in its humility and glory. The rain cannot wash away the memory.

Powerful painting. The way the passenger is leaning in. And it’s raining because there is no sunshine with mission they’re on.
