THE HINGE OF HISTORY

The Hinge of History opens on so great a gift as Life, yet on the other side of Decision's Door may be incalculable tragedy...

My Father was a WWII veteran fighting in the Pacific theatre, was scheduled for the first wave of the planned invasion of Japan (Operation Downfall). He made his peace with his inevitable death at the age of 20 -

then the Atomic Bomb fell.

He lived. They didn't.

I am here, writing this now, a Child of Choices made. But I am not unique. In all things, the Hinge of History swings, letting in Life or Death...

When were are given so great a gift as Life, even in the face of Tragedy, then we must not let our Life be in lived vain. Live boldly, honoring the dead, loving the living, remembering -

the Hinge of History swings on our choices, today and every day.
