On this Memorial Day, May 30, 2016, let us all remember the real heroes among us:
I have seen so many of these heroes on the battlefield come home to their families after suffering and sacrificing so much.
I have seen our government continue to turn their backs on these heroes - the men and women they sent out in harms way who risked everything, gave everything, endured everything.
This Memorial Day let us all remember those who were the first to go and those who were the last to leave, many who didn't come home at all.
It is a day to ponder what it means to be free and how it is that we continue to remain free.
This is something we need to be teaching our kids.
And how is it that we continue to elevate Sociopaths and Psychopaths up on pedestals but deny even the basic human rights to the least among us and abandon them as they languish in hospital beds, waiting to die due to lack of care with their families suffering right along beside them?
How is it that politicians can vote themselves an automatic pay raise every year but continue to turn a blind eye at the desperate plight of many of our veterans who are slowly wasting away?
How is it that politicians can increase the minimum wage on workers with no skills but deny our skilled military heroes a pay raise?
How is it that politicians can continue to pander to a bunch of freeloaders who do nothing on behalf of anybody, other than themselves?
It is time this country did an about face.
It is time we all acknowledge,
"MILITARY LIVES MATTER".
