Every November 9th, I remember Roger LaPorte. Roger's story, life and death are difficult for some to remember or to understand. He was a young man confronted by a time of war and killing that was getting worse by the day. He was frustrated by what he may have seen as an ineffective Peace Movement. No one knows everything that was going through his mind but I do know this - he was a good person, struggling like the rest of us to understand the things we see going on in the world. He was looking and searching for ways to help other people make it through hard times.
The other thing I know is that he deserves to be remembered. I've written other things in the past about Roger's story and those can be found here. RIP Roger.
