    Your service was an honorable one


    We thank you




    Vets should always be honored



    It still breaks my heart when I remember how Bush wouldn’t honor the dead coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan


    There bodies were brought home unseen


    No one was allowed to cover their return

    I had an emotional reaction the first time I visited the Vietnam Memorial on the Washington DC mall, and as far as I can remember it is the only monument I ever had that kind of reaction to.


    Edit to add: I had a reaction to the USS Arizona memorial too, now that I think about it
