We originally ran this post for Memorial Day 2015. It's a lovely read, so we decided it should be reposted this year. The Washington Post has pulled together a sobering chart that allows readers to determine what percentage of their lives the United States has been at war. It's worth a look — I was born in 1983, so as long as the Global War on Terror continues for a couple more years, I'll get past the 50% mark before I turn 40.
