There's an obvious error ("They tell us that 2,451 school staff and more than 4,000 health care workers have died from Covid-19. Together, that’s roughly the total number of military deaths suffered by the United States since World War II.) This does not include Korean War, Vietnam war, among others. Also include those soldiers who committed suicides --more than died directly in Middle eastern Wars.
We should also memorialize those who fought against wars, including Vietnam wars (including Martin Luther King) and current wars.
Thank you for this very important and moving piece on Memorial Day.
