During the Vietnam War, 58,000+ US soldiers were killed. There was a comprehensive draft, and then a draft lottery. There were millions of casualties, overall, and direct US military involvement. The war raged for 20 years. The WWII generation was responsible for our involvement, and the post war generation resisted mightily. So, as awful as Gaza has been, US citizens have not been as personally involved as in the 1955-75 Vietnam War.

Here is a stellar climbing rose, #RoyalSunset by Dr Dennison Morey, 1960. This is an old plant in our garden, perhaps 25 years old, photographed on May 4, 2025.

A bit tattered, some burned edges from the last heat wave, but the roses keep going. Roses are some of the easiest and most forgiving plants for a garden. I remember once pruning mine with hedge shears (divorce, don't ask). Forget to feed, prune or deadhead? No problem!
