Veterans Day, 2013

[ezdays]

Today is Veterans Day. Lots of parades, flag waving, races and prayer services thought the country in honor of those that have given all they can to defend freedom and to keep us safe from aggression. My wife lost a brother back during the Korean War. She wrote this poem a while back as a preface to her book. I know I've posted this before, but I just thought it would be fitting to post it again today so that we may reflect on just who we are honoring today. There were wars before the Korean "conflict" and several since then. Unfortunately, I think it's safe to say that there will be others to come. We all need to ask ourselves "why?"... Is all this really necessary and at what price? How many more brothers will we lose or become casualties before we realize that it's a losing proposition on all sides?

We salute all that have served throughout the years.
