Cemetaries and Memorial Day

Monday is Memorial Day when we remember the Veterans and our loved ones who have gone on before us. My husband has 2 brothers that were in World War II and my husband was overseas in Germany in the Army during the Korean Conflict. We are going to go and visit one of his brothers graves along with his wife and also his son who died at age 30 of muscular dystrophy. I have some flowers ready to go. We haven't been there for a couple of years. Out of 4 brothers, he only has one left now.

Inquiry Into Nuclear Test Veterans Case

A parliamentary inquiry has begun into British nuclear tests in the South Pacific in the l950's, which veterans say led to genetic defects. Veterans claim they were not given proper protection during the Christmas Island testing program and their families have become ill as a result. The inquiry will hear from scientists on the impact of the radiation and from the veterans themselves. About 700 veterans are currently suing the UK government for compensation.
