This is a somber day of a remembrance of our fallen soldiers
from wars and those who arrive home and die after, POW’s and MIA’s, as well as
those still serving.
Services were held all over these United States to commemorate this
day.
Let us never forget any of them.
With that said; we shall also remember those who come home
and are severely wounded physically or mentally and never allow any of the
others to wander the streets as homeless people… These people should also be
remembered and never ever forgotten and who need our help and should receive
it...
All soldiers should be embraced with patience, care, love
and understanding for we know not what they endured or saw or did and all in
our name to maintain all of our freedoms.
Being the sister of one and the mother of another who
served, I personally have seen what can happen to any who give their lives over
to be heavily responsible for our protection.
And that is why we most all know how dear that unselfish
plight can be and overwhelming to some, to too many.
Sadly some do not understand that, but we must.
Too many, young people are committing suicide who have
served, as many as 31% of all the suicides, 69% are over fifty years old and
that is twenty-two each day, more than ever before...we have to feel their pain
and not be cold and unresponsive to these service people…they must be validated
and helped before the end result happens!
Sure it’s bad and who has the answers to stop this
hemorrhage of human life when they manage to return home from, ‘the war’,
looking okay!
We as Americans have to do something and honoring these
military and supporting their families is as absolutely important as the ones
from who their scars are visible.
Please, I implore us as a nation to do something.
It is truly obscene how we treat the mentally ill, as if in
the dark ages at times.
Let me suggest something to all of you, will you who have
people you love serving overseas think about how after they comeback, when they
come home to you, in that euphemistic, ‘one piece’, even if not in one piece,
injured or maimed, talk to them and see if they want to talk, many won’t, but
some will and those you listen to, the others that won’t get some help for,
even those who talk way too much, them too… the signs of PTSD are not always
blatant they can be subtle and not even all medical personnel can tell if they
don’t deal with the mind or they have to get them back into the midst of it
all…
Oh I don’t know, study and learn and listen to know what to
do and then hopefully your very dear one will live with you forever…more.
And this is said with love and someone with knowledge of
such things…
That is my gift to you on this major day of remembrance…
On that note of something of hope, allow me to be the very
first tell you to have a very happy good
night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all those
overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
PS we did have a barbecue with the usual suspects, burgers
and hot dogs and homemade salads including fruit salad, now don’t look too
closely into that! LOL!
Hope yours was one of the good types of memories we all
strive for, that’s all.
