I hope the only reason there has been a drastic increase of people walking on the grass at the MSC is their ignorance for what it stands for and not that they're too impatient to wait for other people to walk past so they can get to a bus. For those of you who do walk on the grass, bear in mind what the MSC is: a memorial. The grass is part of that.

The memorial aspect is key as it is a reminder of how grateful we should be for those who have come before us, among us and those who will make sacrifices to allow us the freedoms that we have grown so accustomed to. So with these freedoms that have come at such a high price comes a few responsibilities and I would hope that I am not the only one who views one of those responsibilities as not defacing memorials to the dead.
