I watched. It saddens me but I'm grateful we have selfless folks like that willing to protect people they'll never meet, just for the fact that we're fellow Americans.

thankyou. i had a friend ask me to go to a BBQ with her cuz her bf didn't wana go. i told her i didn't wana go because one today is not a day of celebration to me, it's a day of rememberence and also i felt like i was only asked as a second person cuz her bf is lazy.

it makes me kinda mad that there are so many ungrateful people who do not care to realize what these men and women do for us each and everyday. i am more thanful for them than anyone else

Yeah, I saw that I missed that. Thanks for posting it, Mahonri.

Indeed, I have a great respect for men and women who will put their lives on the line for others. What makes me sick to my stomach, however, is that most of those lives were wasted. World War One, Korean War, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan... All senseless wastes of life.

This was a post on my blog from last year. Do not, however, take this as a bash on our soldiers, as there are few people as honorable and courageous as them on this Earth.

May they rest in peace.
