Not that we don’t remember and appreciate the dead of both older and more recent American wars and campaigns. We just tend to think of our own first.
Soldier, rest, thy warfare o’er,
Dream of fighting fields no more.
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,
Morn of toil, nor night of waking.
–Sir Walter Scott
