πΊπΈππ» Blessed Memorial Day everyone! Today we remember & pay homage to the brave souls in our Armed Forces who died while fighting to protect our freedom. Do you personally know anyone who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country?
Yes, but his ultimate sacrifice was delayed for many years. My daughter-in-law's father was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, and it finally killed him last April.
IDK. Since my mom's family are from the Dominican republic a lot of people my mom's family who live there had served there. My brother is an army vet. Greateat grandfather was a WW2 vet... For Italy. I don't know much but I'm sure my family name has been involved in military conflicts around the world in several different time periods.
Well that's a shame. Good men and women have died doing something a weak ass like you not only couldn't do, but you openly diss their sacrifice. I get having strong disagreements with the causes of various conflicts, but not what you do.
Debatable. Usually those feelings are not established until a while after. Afghanistan is a great example. Excellent reason to go in. First Gulf War war certainly noble as well, though not necessarily in direct defense. Vietnam featured many thousands of drafted men who, despite being forced to join, most served admirably and with dignity. Your way of thinking is shallow, short sighted, mean spirited, and outright disrespectful to the sacrifices of deceased service members and their families. You have the right to be ignorant and stupid, but those are rights I would highly advise against exercising.
An observation on sacrifice. One shipmate died while underway. We had months ahead of us, so we put him in a body bag and stored him in the freezer until we pulled in. By the time his family knew, he had been dead for over 60 days. As bad as that was...we later lost two guys at sea.....the bodies were never recovered.

With one of my sons someone got in the way of the plane. I think my other ones there was a death to do US actually accidentally involved that was in Korea. I think it may have been a civilian deaths in so many years. I know it really bothers my son’s. A part of my son-in-law’s unit was killed in a terrorist attack.
With my husband being a high school teacher I have found similar things. Usually it’s just plain stupid. One young man got ALS. And our friends son was killed in active duty. And two of them were firemen
No, but I have the utmost respect & admiration for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, our people, & our nation. My heart bleeds & weeps for anyone here who lost a loved one in the Military.
