Garrison Keillor: Belated Memorial Day Speech

I enjoyed this weekend's episode of A Prairie Home Companion, which described the best Memorial Day speech ever in Lake Woebegone, one acknowledging that silence was the best tribute that could be offered by civilians, who can't really understand, to veterans who could never explain it to them.
This Salon article is in a similar but bolder vein.

I agree with him, but damn, he's a sour old scold.
