I Mourn
I mourn
On this memorial Day weekend(2017):
I mourn for the 116,709 Americans who died in WW I for my liberty.
I mourn for the 131,028 Americans who died In WW II for my free speech rights.
I mourn for the 54,229 Americans who died to keep South Korea free.
I mourn for the 58,282 American servicemen who died in an effort to give the Vietnamese freedom and a democracy .
I mourn for those who have gone to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Yemen in an effort to let them live without fear and as they will.
I mourn because our congress appears to be more interested in what other nations think than what Americans think.
I mourn because our politicians have burden our people with debt in the interest of others.
I mourn because most of our leaders (both parties) place self-interest above the people´s rights and welfare.
I mourn because our leaders misrepresent facts to further their own self interest.
I mourn because our leaders will not come together to protect our bounders, culture, and the principles/values that made this nation great and our media who will not give us the true, unbias facts on any issue.
I mourn because our leaders put others ahead of its own citizens.
I mourn for our uncared for veterans who have fought for this Country and its Values.
I mourn for our people who will not recognize the dangers confronting our nation.
I mourn because, far the most part, I doubt the honesty of our bureaucrats. (regardless of party).
Mostly I mourn because our leaders will not listen to the will of the American people and are giving away our country to people that don’t hold our values. people.

Thanks Larry...
And lest we forget, Memorial day is not just a military remembrance. That is Veterans day.
We mourn all those who have gone before us. In memory of those we mourn as well.
