I think the majority in this nation still honor their sacrifice. I’ve never served, but my grandfather was on the USS Oklahoma in WWI and my father was 66th Infantry Division Black Panthers in WWII. Wounded twice, 2 Purple Hearts, fought in Korean War too.
You would have to actually serve to understand the depth and breadth of the bonds between men who have experienced war together and their love for this nation. Most people think they respect veterans, but only veterans have earned the right to judge this nation and its honor; and I can tell you that most veterans believe this nation is in slavery and bondage to Lucifer.
Most people will be thinking about the cost of hot dogs and sunscreen, not the cost of freedom this weekend. For most, it's just another holiday for spoiled generations to practice gluttony. For we who served, it is a reminder that we carry with us the spirits of our brothers who didn't return. And we may be the only ones who will be prepared to defend liberty in the future, when demonic liberal forces bring Civil War to this God-appointed land of opportunity.
I agree. I’m a civilian...I can never understand that bond or the price paid.
“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother”
Damn, man. I just popped over from writing an email to a friend of mine who is the sister of one of my closest friends. Her brother and I were in combat in the Gulf War. He committed suicide seven years ago. I write to his sister several times a year to make sure she's okay, does she need anything, and let her know Michael is never for one day forgotten.
Then I read your quote and it seems my eye plumbing has sprung a bit of a leak...
Thank you.
I wish he were still here. He died when I was 13. The last movie we saw together was Battle of Britain and he was shaking as we came out of the theater. He never talked about the war, I only pieced together what happened after reading on the 66th. I know he was wounded in the Ardennes and Rhineland
For an American to be considered a Citizen with full American rights and privileges they should have to serve a set period in the armed forces. God bless you and may he bring peace to your heart that knows such tender compassion for yourself and your fellow warriors.
