My post was lost maybe like my plea for our Hero's!
Thank's Fred, Carol, and Old Sarge for your thoughts. It's nice that we welcome our soldiers back from putting their lives before their futures in defending our Country's freedom. But in reality we just (Glad-Hand) them for it. During the Vietnam Conflict as we call it many young men either lost their lives, came back with life ending disabilities, or post war mental scares that prevented them from their ability to re-enter the mainstream as we call it. We as Country let them down. Even since the Persin Gulf, although we welcomed the returning soldiers back , and mourned the people lost, we still didn't help them get back into the mainstream. We never have! We just take a minute to honor their return, and move on leaving them to deal with the scares of what they have Sean. We don't get it! As a people and as a Government, as to what it takes to really salute these soldiers who have given a piece of their lives for our freedom. Nothing has changed since Vietnam except they are welcomed back for a moment. The day after we forget them, and their families. It's still the same old thing decades later. Our people will have their first of summer celebrations with family and think about the days to come but what about the people who gave us this opportunity, what are we doing for them NOTHING!
Celebrate this Holiday by helping them for what they have done in what ever way you can!
Lucky to be alive, with no disabilities, able to re-enter the mainstream, and live a good life, but still bitter for my brothers that weren't so lucky, and those that have served since.
It's time to wake up and see the lite.
