Excellent ideas Mick, and all of you. Any suggestions on how we non-Europeans can show our support?
I am proud of the rally round the flag movement, that is taking place in the U.S., right now, but sadly, in time, the general population will forget again, as they always seem to do when it comes to the Military. Everyone remember the yellow ribbons from ten years ago? I have seen flags that started to appear almost immediately after September 11th, start coming down to be replaced by Snoopy in an Easter Bunny suit. So much for support.
It took us sixty years, for our Country, to get a WWII Memorial. Are we, as a people, becoming more sensitive to the sacrifices of others, or are we just more able to communicate the past injustices to a broader spectrum?
For all people, of all nations, who care about these heroes, the time truly is now to see that they receive the honor they deserve. The world is in the mood to listen to what (we) have to say when it comes to our honored dead.Lets all try to work together to see that they are honored, and laid to rest. Perhaps, collectively we can make a difference.As always, just my opinion.
