Nestled along the Blue
Ridge in the tranquil green mountains of northwestern North Carolina,
one small community gathers each year to pay tribute to the men and
women from among them who have gone to serve their country in the armed
forces. They honor both veterans and those currently serving.
They honor these men and women because they are keenly aware of the
disconnection between the peaceful prosperity of life in the community
and the primitive, violent conditions in which many have served and
continue to serve. It is not a gathering to support or encourage war
in the abstract or any particular war, but rather a heartfelt day of
tribute to those who have put their personal comfort behind when duty
called.
