Veterans Day
Posted by John on Nov 11, 2009 in Closed Thoughts |
Not all Veterans are created equally.
Many who’ve served honorably cannot receive membership to the majority of Veteran’s organizations.
While many chartered organizations ‘do’ do good things, they don’t speak for all Veterans.
Today shouldn’t be for remembering just the ones seen on mounts. It should include the many more that will never be.
For every service member that is noted ‘out there’, there were many more who supported each one. Cooks, admin, medical, transportation, mechanics,etc.
This month’s tragedy in Fort Hood is an example of how every person who wears a uniform faces risk daily. Not only should the victims and their family be remembered, but the accused as well when people are ready to face what they fear.
Becoming the enemy.
