    Thank you, Ross! This is a fresh perspective on the holiday and reminds me of the respect to pay for those who did not run away from fear. May your dad rest in peace. He was a great man and you are living proof that he was.

    Thank you, Ross. A courageous post, given the number sheep unwilling to to see things as they actually are. Here’s a primer of past policies leading to current events. Hopefully it will wake up some of them from “The Matrix”:

    Hi Ross, thank you for taking the time to offer this. Much appreciated. My dad was also a WWII veteran and we remember him today with love and respect. Respect and appreciation for your father as well. He sounded like a very clear-minded and honorable man.

    Much of what you said here reminds me of the book “War is a Racket” by General Smedley Butler. I think it’s important to reflect on and try to understand the real underlying reasons for war and each conflict we’re engaged in and the reasons for our involvement.

    If you don’t mind my asking, did your dad’s threat of disowning you influence your decision on which direction to go with your life – join the Navy or school? Just curious.

    Thanks again, and thanks to all current service people and veterans. Enjoy what’s left of the holiday.
