This summer marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Great War.  Known, popularly and inaccurately, as World War I (I'll write about why in a later post), the massive tragedy that began in August, 1914 deserves our attention today.

There are numerous issues, confrontations, and international dynamics unfolding as I write that began or were significantly altered by the struggles of the Great War.  It is important that we try to understand how and why the long European peace was shattered. And we should take the time to remember and honor the millions who served and suffered.

Following posts will attempt to educate, stimulate, and, hopefully, inspire reflection and respect to the brave who served.  

Comments and reflections always welcome.
