Friday, May 27, 2005 As We Celebrate Memorial Day Think of This... This is a fabulous post by Diane who diaried "One Hundred Names You Won't Hear This Memorial Day" on Daily Kos. It is exactly what we need to keep in mind as we respectfully recognize the sacrifice and hardship that all of our veterans and servicemembers have given our nation. Some innocents have made huge sacrifices, too... but most of their sacrifices were against their will and wishes. To Chris in Iraq: I hope that you are well and safe and that your wife Kim mailed out our huge care package to you today ( just as she planned to). Please come home and I pray that you remain safe and unharmed. Thank you for being a Marine and serving-- despite the fact that an immoral and insane administration put you in harm's way. Let's all pray to what ever higher power you believe in this weekend that we can bring an end to this war. Amen. |
