A sincere thanks for your military service.
Signing up, training and being ready to fight whenever and for whatever the politicians decide is a special sort of sacrifice. My WWII vet father died this year; my Vietnam vet cousin continues to deal with some of his trauma; a friend works at the VA Hospital and often tells a tale of those there to remind me of the cost.
If you have a moment, I recommend a story my friend passed on: Kasey Cordell, "Final Post: One Local Veteran's New Mission" in 5280. http://www.5280.com/node/52637
Greatness is expressed in many forms. Thank you for the link.
We botjh served in the dubious battle that was Vietnam, though I never went oveaseas. Every time I see that wall, I ask "wasit worth it.? Survivor's guilt is part of the burden we bear. But my country called, I went and never heard a shot fired on anger.
And so it goes.
No, it was not worth it and neither is Syria, Iraq, or Afganistan.
A Veteran's Day Message from Gold Star father Khizr Khan:
and for my father, WWII veteran, born on Armistice Day 98 years ago, and for my ex-husband, wounded in body and mind, whose innocence and idealism were taken and exploited by cynical politicians promoting a decade of the Vietnam War.
For the Gulf War and Iraq vets exposed to Monsanto and Dow Agent Orange chemicals, which the Army then lied and said were harmless. For all the female and male vets who were sexually assaulted because rape is part of the military culture.
I honor veterans for what they thought they were doing, for being brave and willing to lay down their lives for the greater good. We have to quit lying to young people. Quit telling them that they'll be sacrificing for some grand cause. Tell them up front which corporations they'll be bleeding for; then let them decide if they still want to kill civilians and lose their limbs and sanity to make it happen.
That's my Veteran's Day message.
MamaJ – you'll enjoy this article on my great-uncle Duane Donley that ran in my mothers hometown newspaper in Minnesota yesterday. He's a great man with a wicked sense of humor and an unapologetic Democrat to this very day. He's been my North Star since high school. A wonderful man.
Your uncle does sound like a great guy. It's good that he has been able to share his war stories. You're lucky to still have him around.
Both my parents were deeply involved in WWII (Dad as a soldier in the North African theater, and mom as a refugee from Hitler's Anschluss), and I think that may have been the last war that was truly fought for a noble cause.
Arguably, korea was a noble cause. It stopped Staliinist aggression under the Un banner. My brothder had two tours there in the60s.
