On this Veterans Day may God bless all the veterans and their families. Last week I wrote a piece, Being a Veteran, which spoke of my dad's service in the Army and how this must have affected his life and decisions thereafter. Sunday, I saw Bill Moyer's documentary, "The Good Soldier," which chronicles the lives of four soldiers upon their return. Here is a preview:
Watching this documentary, I could not help but to think of the long-lasting affect that war has soldiers and the lost of life of soliders and innocent civilians. Everything is not fair in love and war. We bear the responsibility of our actions. As the WW II veteran said, "War is about killing" no matter the mission. May God bless us all.

Judith,
For some reason I have been thinking about the Vietnam era vets and the differences in how they and those of today were treated and thought of. This country should be proud and thankful for person of any era that stepped up and wore the uniform to protect the freedoms we are fortunate to enjoy. May God Bless all service members, their families and loved ones for the sacrifices they make to keep us free...
Dave - May God bless us all and may we live so that we have no need for war.
Judith,
Absolutely...
