So many thoughts from this. I helped my dad decorate graves during my childhood. He was very definite about distinguishing Memorial Day from Veterans Day. My mother also sold poppies on street corners and at local events. How I wish I had one of those poppies !
Thank you for this piece, Kerrie !

Comment on A Loving Act: Bringing Home the Dead by Terry Fifield

Hi Kerrie! It’s great to find your website and to see that you are working with school groups. There are lots of instances of archaeologists and forensic anthropologists working with bones in modern contexts. I was moved in September 2001 by how many of my colleagues went to NYC to help with the recovery of victims and mapping of the disaster scene. Archaeologists are often involved in plane crash investigations and have even helped with recovering war dead. That understanding from a scientific perspective of the context in which dead occurs can be very informative.

Thank you, Kerrie, for sharing your personal experience on this subject. And for a wonderful review of my new book. My heart aches that it is so relevant today with five journalists dead in Ukraine and one kidnapped and tortured by Russian soldiers.
