Who they are
March 2nd, 2007 |Just in case you need a reminder of who I was writing about on Wednesday.
This linked portfolio of images may be difficult to view, but I think every American needs to take a look. You are going to be seeing a lot of veterans around this country, for a very long time to come, who are in a similar condition. Veterans who volunteered to serve their country and who paid a heavy price. If you come across a veteran who was injured in battle, don’t turn away, don’t avert your eyes. Look at them. Talk to them. Connect with them. Thank them for their service. They served so you did not have to. Think about them the next time this country talks about sending our soldiers to war. We better be sure. It better be absolutely necessary. The human price is far to high for it to be otherwise.
These are not plastic army men that we can send off to fight on a whim. These are the people that bare the true cost of war. These are the people that suffer. These are the people who have sacrificed to protect your freedom. These are the people that we need to help.
