About Mother's Day

As we all flock to buy the candy, the flowers, the nice cards, spend a few minutes educating yourself about how Mother's Day began with this piece by Geoff Parrish. Thank you, Julia Howe.

Tomorrow, there will be mothers torn apart either grieving their dead soldiers or worried sick about the ones still in harm's way. Some of them will be American, some British, some Italian, some Russian, some Afghan, some Iraqi.
