We are becoming a nation of hardened hearts, splintered factions and people who are unwilling to compromise with those who have a different view of how we need to grow and advance as a nation. Is this what the lasting legacy is going to be for those who have decided to become members of our armed services? For those who paid the price of their lives is this how we are going to pay respect to them?
We have leaders inside and outside of politics who completely refuse to listen to views from people with differing views. The soldiers who have given their lives are being desecrated by these actions. Those soldiers are just like the rest of America. They have different views from one another on all aspects of American life yet they decided to join the armed services and work towards a common goal of a better America.
While you can agree or disagree with the merits of war you need to respect the sacrifice of those who have joined our armed services. We owe them that.
Today as we celebrate Veterans Day please think of those of have served this country, are serving this country and those who have given their lives. We owe them much and give them very little back.
We are torn.
