Yeah I get that, but Memorial Day is not Vietnam War Day people should be able to put their politics aside for one day and just say thank you or say nothing at all. They have the other 364 days to undermine a soldiers sacrifice.Quote:

I would aslo like to say "Thanks" to all the people that have lost their lives for this country also the vets and the men and women still fighting for us........
Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead!
There's none of these so loney and poor of old,
But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.
These laid the world away; poured out the red
Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be
Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene
That men call age; and those who would have been,
Their sons, they gave, their immortality.
- Rupert Brooke -
Thanks ghost .... Today, I honor the soldiers AND civilians that gave their lives for our freedom. To dissent is our greatest freedom. I undermine noone's sacrifice.Quote:

Maybe youā??re right but this is how I took itā?¦
Today instead of honoring veterans I would like recognize the plight of the anti-war movement. On May 4, 1970 unarmed student protesters that were doing nothing but exercising their right to free speech were murdered by warmongering soldiers in the National Guard.
Read it againā?¦I did.
So instead of being thankful to our men and women in uniform we should see them for what they are cold blooded killers.
Maybe Iā??m just being touchy.
I apologize Donnie if you didnā??t mean it that way, but that is the way it was received by me. I realize the way I receive it is not your problem.
thank you to those who served in the armed forces.
all vets deserve our respect and gratitude. i think it falls upon our shoulders to teach our children the importance of their service so we never forget.
