Thats the thing with some people, they don’t so much mind the elderly veterans, its the young live ones they don’t like.
A letter regarding this issue from a mother of a soldier serving in Afghanistan
***
To the Mayor of Calgary
I am so upset at your decision. I called your office the day I heard about it. I belong to numerous groups on facebook and this has been circulated your lack of concern and caring for my son and the other brave women and men serving this fine country. HOW DARE YOU NOT CARE FOR MY SON! Do you know that the support from home is so important to these men and women and that they are heroes. Yahoo you give the locals a send off ceremony but when they are down and need to know that fellow Canadians and government officials support them, they can say to themselves—— Some cities and towns support us BUT Calgary Alberta does not give a hoot as to how we are doing. Their Mayor does not support us.
As to the ribbons supporting the war. How the heck do you get that. They say “Support our Troops”. Where the heck does it say “Support the War”. I am not a political woman by far but I do vote every year and am disgusted to let others know I am from Calgary. Please explain to me why I should tell people to move to this city for jobs when the Mayor does not care about our heroes?????
I ask you again Mayor HOW DARE YOU NOT CARE ABOUT MY SON ADAM. I am sure you would care if he came home in a body bag then you could get your picture taken for a photo op about how much you care. I am in tears over this what kind of human makes a decision like this????? Are you a human being with feelings or has the political life taken over and you don’t care about your men and women.
I realize this email will not do a thing as you will send out the same generic responce you have before and yes we have compared the emails. You can not be bothered to answer us yourself rather get someone to do it for you and they just cut and paste.
Sincerely
Susan
You are a very important person there is only one you in this world
Prayers for the troops and my son, Adam, who is in Afghanstan.
