Memorial Day Remembrance

[samplegirl]

There is not a person I know who does not respect the service any man or women has given to this country but given these times and this day of remembrance Iraq and those who put us there has got to be part of the picture.

4,299 U.S. Deaths in Iraq to date.
To all those who supported GWB's War today is a special reminder...
WAR IS NOT PEACE
FREEDOM IS NOT SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS NOT STRENGTH
AND TORTURE IS NOT RELIEF

Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just don't want you to know
I can see through your masks

Thank you to all Veterans past and present for your service and sacrifices and may the future for those who are serving abroad in this theater called Iraq and Afghanistan be able to return home very soon. That is my hope but the reality at this time is that many more graves will be dug for the casualties of this debacle.

1. To the troops

Many thanks and hopes for peace very soon. Peace to families and friends who have had to say goodbye too soon.

Remembering dear Owen. Gone now five years; gone too soon, gone too young.
