Today here in America we celebrate Veterans Day. A day we remember those who have fought for our freedom and values. Yet in the midst of this day, honoring our veterans, Thomas offers a slightly perspective and I spose I could just link to his thoughts, but felt the need to share it entirely.
don’t forget
the victims of war
the dead… the injured… the hurt.
the humiliated… the raped… the tortured.
fathers and mothers without sons and daughters…
sons and daughters without fathers and mothers.
war affects the soul… not just the soldier.
there are not victors in war… only victims.
don’t forget
the victims of war
the dead on both sides… the injured on both sides… the hurt on both sides.
the humiliated on both sides… the raped on both sides… the tortured on both sides.
don’t forget
the victims of war.
Don’t forget… today and everyday.
