“The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” George Washington
Some of us don't do real well on this.
I would like to add to this powerful quote by President Washington. These veterans sacrificed for a reason. They sacrificed for freedom, liberty, and honor. They sacrificed for the American flag and what it means. When we don't respect the reason these veterans went to war, why would anyone want to risk and sacrifice their lives just so we can be disrespectful to our freedoms? We need to not only honor and respect the veteran, but we need to honor and respect the reasons why they went to war.
How dare we be so disrespectful to the reason our Defenders die.
