This photo was taken at the Mt. Samat Shrine in Bataan. It’s a huge reminder that war is messy and has horrific consequences. Let’s remind ourselves of that and never forget that in all wars, lives are lost. May we never see another world war because this time around, one missile can wipe out a continent and its surrounding areas ruined for generations to come.

Let’s be grateful we still live in a time where we can choose our leaders, speak our mind and decide on our fates on our own.
