Ditto on all of this. Thanks to all our vets.

[Kasept]

They simply can never be thanked enough..

[CSC]

Thanks indeed.

[Mortimer]

This is a very good thing.



I know some of you do....but do more.


Stop and think of what it would be like to be a kiddie....and find out your Father isn't coming back...or your Mother...or your brother or sister...you soul mate....your son...your daughter.They don't remember it just once a year.

Or worse..being that soldier who knew he had but minutes or seconds to live.....and what thoughts must have gone through his mind.


Think of what it must have been like to be 18 years old...and thrust into a world you had no idea could exist in civilization---overnight.

And what were his last dying thoughts?

What is it like for those who were in hell? What's it like to know you're dying thousands of miles from home with no family members by your side....just stench and lunacy.


Think what it's like to know your commander banters with the enemy and tells him to" bring it on"...when he is no where near the place you are.....and is protected like no one is......and never ever "brought it on" himself.


I think ,at least, either presidential candidate would have made me feel a lot better regarding their thinking long and hard before sending Amercians into killing zones...for different reasons maybe,but that doesn't matter.

I thank them all...very,very much as well. I wish I did not have to. I don't think they gave their lives. I don't think they would want it thought that way.

I do think they would like you to know what they went through and how they died....while knowingly putting their lives at risk. Some of them lost their lives knowing that fate was a possibility.I don't think they wanted to die, but well knew they were facing it all the time.
