Supporting our Troops -Standing For Those Who Stood For Us

[trystinn]

Don't watch this if you're at work or feeling emotionally fragile.

I want to show folks what Supporting Our Troops all too often means.

This isn't about whether those folks supported the war, Gods knows we didn't. It's about multiple counties standing in recognition of one death: public utilities forming arches with ladder trucks, fire trucks blocking intersections for the funeral procession, billboards displaying the soldier's picture and just everyday folks who show up to witness the sacrifice of our military families.

Want to make a PGR Rider cry? Ask him how often the PGR is the only recognition from the community the family receives at a funeral.

I posted this because on the 64th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, I want to remind folks of the true cost of war.

And to the town of Snohomish during a parade when the American flag goes by you take your hats off and jump to your feet.
I came to conclude that allot of the patriotic talk is just that talk.
