Veterans

On Veteran's Day, I pause to remember.  I do not like these holidays.  I don't like anything associated with discord of any sort.  Never did. 

My heart always goes out to anyone associated with war.  Everyone suffers in it.  Because of it.  It is always the result of unevolved people.  Always the so-called not-so-leader-leadership.  Real leaders find peace.  To do otherwise is complete failure.  And that makes me sad.

My parents were in the army. My grandfather signed up before the United States entered WW1 with the Royal Canadian Mounties.  Lost his arm in the war.  My stepdad was a Lt. Colonel in the Marines.  Pearl Harbor.  My uncle was a paratrooper in WW2. 

I can somewhat understand the first and second WW's, and Korea - but not Vietnam or any of the ones that came after it. They are all about money.  The Middle Eastern ones are about resources.   We wasted ours and want theirs.

But this note isn't meant to be political.  To all who served, to those who were in the war, my heart goes out to you this and every day.  There is a better way.  Let's find it. Now!
