Veterin's Day

Nov 11, 2006 14:57

Today I honor the memory of my father, who served in World War II. I honor the memory of my father in law, who was an Army Flier in the Pacific Campagne.

I honor my son, who's unit was the point of the spearhead for the invasion that began Operation Iraqi Freedom.

I honor my daughter's boyfriend who put his life on the line, as a sniper, taking out lone targets who would have endangered the normal ground troops even more.

I honor my husband, who taught Explosive Ordanance Disposal to the boys who were going to Viet Nam. Knowing how to handle such things safely meant that they didn't go into harms way out of ignorance.

This war is a deplorable and dishonest act, by deplorable and dishonest men in Government. I hail all the Troops, for doing their best to behave honorably in the face of this crisis.
