Some Perspectives on Memorial Day

 

“Choking back tears, Christian Golczynski accepted the flag from his father’s casket. Photographer Aaron Thompson described this moment as ‘the most emotionally moving event I may have ever witnessed and may ever witness in my life’.”

Pegoda took the thoughts right out of my head.

 

And, most would also agree with Dr. Martin Luther Kings views on non-violence. King was against war in general. 

 

When you see how sad it is for the children, spouses and parents who have lost loved ones to war, it makes one question what the logic is with all the invasions and fighting.

Justice for Jonathan Mitchell

 

“In Albuquerque, NM, on a dark night in a quiet neighborhood, 23 year-old Iraq War Veteran Jonathan Mitchell was shot and killed in March 2013.  He was killed by Donnie Pearson.  Pearson has not been arrested due to a claim of self-defense.

There is a petition on change.org for the arrest of Donnie Pearson.  Click here to sign.”

The Uncounted

 

“Bill and Christine don’t celebrate Christmas or their birthdays anymore. They stopped going to Thanksgiving get-togethers. It feels awkward, like nobody knows what to say to them. Leh It upsets them to see parents with their children. Lynne worked at Chili’s in high school, so if they go out, it’s usually there.”

 

“One tragic number is known: 22 veterans kill themselves every day. But another is not: How many military spouses, siblings and parents are killing themselves? What is war’s true toll?”

 

 

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

I can’t imagine much worse then to loose your children.

 

It’s strange how U.S. culture knows the psychological burden that veterans and their family go through – and yet the U.S. continues to invade sovereign countries and kill.
