There were volunteers out at Arlington today putting wreaths on the grave markers. The combination of miles of white markers and the red and green of the wreaths was overwhelming. There are so many it’s hard to remember they are individuals, each with their own family and history. Each left people behind. So many families left behind.
I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.
