Gratitude - Say Thank You
I was a Viet Nam protester who campaigned for McGovern before I could vote. I believe in peace. I do not believe in war. I do not believe in killing people in communities or even criminals. I do not really believe in killing animals although I am not yet a full vegetarian. (I am headed that way.)
I never spit on the boys who came home from Viet Nam (and they WERE boys! Anyone remember the song "19"? Most were straight out of high school.) and I never called them names. I just wanted them all back and all in one piece. I actually corresponded with a Navy chef born in Alaska during the Viet Nam war. I sent him homey stories and recipes and good wishes. I would do the same today.
One day I will tell some of that story but today, a friend sent me a movie and it really touched me. Soldiers are people. First and foremost. They all have hopes and dreams and people who love them. I want them all back now - today - but that is ever me.
Check this out. This is signing. And please pass it on. This just feels right.
