Editor,
We never know how much a treasured life means until the goodness and light of that life are no longer with us. On Memorial Day each year we take a moment to remember and pay our respects to the men and women in our military who have given up their lives in the service of our country. This year it would also be fitting to remember the lives of 21-year-old Riley Howell and 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo who laid down their young lives less than a month ago in defense of their classmates in school shootings in Charlotte, North Carolina, and suburban Denver.
