To all vets...

[DonnieDarko]

Could we not make this into something politicalâ?¦.and try to refrain from smearing the armed forces for just one day would you please.

I smeared no one and inserted no poltical views.

Vietnam was not a pretty war...

Agent Orange... Napalm... Not knowing the enemy... The general public being against the war in general... the My Lai Massacre... Gulf Of Tonkin Resolution

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.

I smeared no one and inserted no poltical views.

You don't really believe that do you...

hey likemclever, I think DonnieDarko was being sincere, bro... or maybe i'm just high

[lilee]

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.

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.

I think Donnie was just telling us what he also remembers on this day.

To all the soldiers, I can't thank you all enough for what you have done for the world.

[likemclever]

Maybe youâ??re right but this is how I took itâ?¦

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 againâ?¦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 Iâ??m just being touchy.

I apologize Donnie if you didnâ??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.
