I hope we all take a moment on the Memorial Day Monday.
Not because some politician tells us we should at 3pm for their agenda. But, because we allowed undeclared wars to happen in our name and good people acted on what we said we needed.
I plan to take that moment to:
* Pray for all the boys and girls who gave their lives for what they believed in.
* Recognize the ongoing sacrifices being made.
* Value the ‘breakage’ in the wounded; insist that ‘we’ do right by them.
* Grieve with all the families that are picking up afterwards.
* And, finally, hope that we all begin to hold the politicians accountable for their words and actions that put ‘our people’ in harm’s way in our name.
You know if I could I’d bring them all home on Tuesday – Wednesday latest.
I will pray they all come home in one piece.
And that ‘we’ get back to a Department of Defense and return to the Constitutional America of Liberty. We seem to have lost our way.
What will you do – or what did you do – on Monday? Picnic and party? Listen to more political rhetoric? Forget it all and vacation? Tube out?
Sadly,
An tired old fool
