We Shall Not Sleep, Though Poppies Grow

Sermons-First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco

"We Shall Not Sleep, Though Poppies Grow" (May 30, 2021) Worship Service

From an 1865 gathering at the Charleston race track through two World Wars to modern day, collectively remembering our dead remains an important ritual for the living. On the 50th national observance of Memorial Day, what have we learned about communal grief in times of war and peace?
