HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY !!!!!

To all those who served thank you. This day is for you. For all our Brothers and Sisters that paid the ultimate price we miss you ,and think about you always. To my beloved Marines past and present, Semper Fi !!!!!!! Goodnite Chesty Puller where ever you are?

As wars come to an end, America often forgets it's Veterans. We must not fail our Veterans this time! Even in the last Gulf War Veterans are still fighting for simple things like, health care, counseling, and their basic Gi benefits.

Not just our Government, but the citizens of this great country forgot the Veterans from the Vietnam war.

The fact that Congress never declared war doesn't give us the right to discount the price many paid, and are still paying for that horrible war.

As our Veteran's return from Iraq they will need help to re-adjust. Many of our young servicemen and women have served three, even four, tours of duty.

We must not forget these men and women ever!!!!!!

And most importantly to our new President and Congress, don't try to justify war by playing by some sort of rules, (I.E.The Geneva Convention) This in my humble opinion, is just mans way of trying to give the most uncivil act between mankind a little civility. A selfish way for those who send our sons and daughters to kill or be killed to get some sleep.

War is absolutely the last option in times of conflict. It cannot be a choice made rashly, or in anger, or in fear. It must be the end all, do all , for mankind. Only when nothing else on this earth will save our people, should we even consider war as an option.

War is a win at all cost endeavor, not to be taken lightly, or tried to be made civil.
There is absolutely nothing civil about war. It is the most horrible thing man can do to man.






So please take five seconds out of your busy day and thank a Veteran, because if you don't think they deserve this simple act of kindness, then my friends, you are sadly mistaken.
