A sincere thank you to all of the people, past and present, that have given their lives, and their sanity, in the hopes of creating a better world.
I will leave you with some words that have haunted me through the years…
“We were young. We were scared, but we had a job to do, and we believed that we were going to make a difference. Turns out we were just stupid.”
“And to think, that sixty years later, that we still haven’t found peace – that’s a real burden.”

We should, but I don’t think many of us do. I know I don’t.

Fifty years ago I was a young and naïve patriot who decided to serve the country I loved. 3 years later I was veteran, a patriot who learned a valuable lesson, “You should never trust your government; it is vile and corrupt.” Thankfully in 2016, people, like yourself, have an appreciation for our sacrifices….it was not that way in 1970.

Larry, I really really appreciate your comment. I also hope that many people took time out of their day yesterday to seriously consider and reflect on those sacrifices.

Truly. Humans seem to lack the ability to learn from their behaviors. 😕
