Part of my job is doing all the plant care in local cemeteries. I try to learn about the people I work around to build a sense of social utility in the work. Today’s theme was “What did this person do in WW2?”. Most of them had support roles or basic infantry assignments. When I googled one name though, he was smiling in front of a plane decorated in 10+ swastika trophies. He shot down a V1 rocket.

The next time I go back there it’ll be with flowers.
