Veterans Day

with one comment

My sincere thanks to all those who have served and sacrificed by giving years of their life, or their actual life with the intent being to protect and preserve my Freedom and to help others in this world who are less fortunate.

I’m sorry for those who have had to kill. I’m sorry for those who have had to experience things that should never be experienced.

I’m sorry for those who have had to be part of something they didn’t or don’t feel is right.

As defined in wikipedia:

Veterans Day is an American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it is celebrated on the same day as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)

The holiday is commonly misprinted as Veteran’s Day or Veterans’ Day in calendars and advertisements.

Boondock Sainthood

Can you tell me how you stand on the syllogism of Boondock Saints? 

Can anyone argue that we couldn’t use some of this vigilante justice in some of our bigger cities or even in the podunk areas of the US?

In a much broader sense, if countries were the characters - who would be who - considering our current state of affairs.

I’m seriously wondering here, as I know that there are several people who check this site out regularly that could make some great parallels far beyond the war in Iraq.

 To you that know, please respond.  Tell us of the inequities that are currently taking place around the world that most of us probably don’t know about.

“Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men. “     - Monsignor of the Boondock Saints

thanks.
