Dear extreme,
As a milvet that ain’t dead yet, i respond:
I, and all the 54000 that are gone, look at
childish questions, as the ones you have raised,
and wonder .. what did we fight for?
Did we fight so folks could wear a mantle of
Oof self-stupidity? No.
Did we fight so folks could have beer parties,
a three day government sanctioned, buy a
mattress cheap, holiday, and, oh yeah, thanks
for your sacrifice, whatever, whatever?.
(EXPLETIVE) NO!!!!
We fought, and bled, and died, to secure
the FREEDOM, of that generation and this one.
To be secure that the rights laid out in our
Constitution, were still the law of the land,
and that our children and grandchildren were
raised in that freedom. and not subjects of a
totalitarian government, as in those countries
against whom we fought.
It was Richard Nixon, who signed over Memorial
Day, to this government employee three day
weekend nonsense, while we who were doing
the fighting, felt screwed.
Very well said.....
You are completely missing my point! Look, I come from a military family, and the ironic thing is, they and other vets who served would agree with.
Having barbecues and cracking open a cold one is EXACTLY what our fallen heroes would have wanted us to do.
Does that mean Americans have become callous in this regard? Of course not, we honor their sacrifice....by engaging in the very freedoms that they fought and died valiantly for.
