~Remembering~ Whether we agree with war or what the Pols say-or not the veterans have gone into places and situations most of us would never want to be, they deserve our respect. They have kept the Spirit of Freedom Alive, we can do no less.
+3 Agreed Yesterday I attended a Memorial Day ceremony at Clark Cemetery and while there visited with several friends who now take residence there.
If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind. Major Michael Davis O'Donnell 1 January 1970 Dak To, Vietnam
here in australia we are told what freedom we have but in reality we don't if veterans had never gone to war for money/power hungry morons on all sides then freedom could be attained freedom of the press [not a word on the japanese crisis ]
