I know I’ve posted about  this video before, but it’s so appropriate to this day I have to post it again.

Letters Home from the Garden of Stone

This video and the comments left from people so affected by this war say it better than I ever could.

****

My father was a Marine. My uncle was in the Navy. My stepdad served time in the Army, as did my sister and my little brother. The love of my life spent two tours in Vietnam.

War affects each and every one of us, whether you know someone personally that has given of themselves in military service or not.

Today is a day to remember that, and to thank them. No matter what your politics are or your philosophy on world events, the truth is you are able to express these things thanks, in no small part, to the men and women who serve our country in this capacity.

Remember. Say thanks.

And get us the FUCK out of Iraq and Afghanistan, okay? Our people need to come home.

    Thank you for the post. Like Refugees in various camps receiving aids of UNHCR and other agencies like Oxfam or Red Cross, the American Army men are also fighting for nothing but to perpetuate the hegemonistic and hollow policy of Us administration. Now Barrack has come, who know there will be a reversal of policy regarding war and aggression.
