Unselfishly, you left your fathers and your mothers,
You left behind your sisters and your brothers.
Leaving your beloved children and wives,
You put on hold, your dreams-your lives.
On foreign soil, you found yourself planted
To fight for those whose freedom you granted.
Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost
But you carried onward, no matter the cost.
Many horrors you had endured and seen.
Many faces had haunted your dreams.
You cheered as your enemies littered the ground;
You cried as your brothers fell all around.
When it was over, you all came back home,
Some were left with memories to face all alone;
Some found themselves in the company of friends
As their crosses cast shadows across the land.
Those who survived were forever scarred
Emotionally, physically, permanently marred.
Those who did not now sleep eternally
'Neath the ground they had given their lives to keep free.
With a hand upon my heart, I feel The pride and respect; my reverence is revealed
In the tears that now stream down my upturned face
As our flag waves above you, in her glory and grace.
Freedom was the gift that you unselfishly gave
Pain and death was the price that you ultimately paid.
Every day, I give my utmost admiration
To those who had fought to defend our nation.

Pissed at people.
1st that the police feel it is perfectly OK to murder someone defending his home and those he loves and because they will investigate themselves and (obviously) find they did nothing wrong Yesterday I posted a murder by the police that took place when a person was defending both himself. his GF and his home by bringing a gun to the door when the police beat on it did NOT identify themselves and then when he opened it they murdered him immediately even going so far to shoot him in the back several times even though he was dying or dead. The reason it disgusts me is twofold that is relevant to the country today. 1st that the police feel it is perfectly OK to murder someone defending his home and those he loves and because they will investigate themselves and (obviously) find they did nothing wrong. Which has been the normal state of affairs when it come to anything the police do wrong or criminal. However there is no protest over this , no riots , no nothing because of one VERY
Phoenix cops kill man over video game
Ryan Whitaker was sitting at home with his girlfriend playing video games when he was killed by police. A noise complaint from an annoyed neighbor resulted in cops shooting and killing a man within five seconds of him opening his front door. Ryan Whitaker opened the door holding a gun in his right hand which is legal in Arizona but it made the cops fear for their lives. However, the cops never gave him a chance to put the gun down which he appeared to be trying to do when one cop shot him in the back three times. "Why did you guys shoot him?" Whitaker's girlfriend, Brandee Nees, yelled as she stepped into the doorway. "He just pulled a gun on us, ma'am," Phoenix police officer Jeff Cooke said. "Because it's dark and someone just knocked on the door," Nees responded. When Phoenix police officer John Ferragamo asked Nees if she and Whitaker had been fighting, she told him they were only playing video games. "Literally we were making salsa and playing Crash Bandicoot so there
Aquarius
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Despite the “aqua” in its name, Aquarius is actually the last air sign of the zodiac. Aquarius is represented by the water bearer, the mystical healer who bestows water, or life, upon the land. Accordingly, Aquarius is the most humanitarian astrological sign. These revolutionary thinkers fervently support “power to the people,” aspiring to change the world through radical social progress. Every Aquarian is a rebel at heart: These air signs despise authority and anything that represents conventionality. Free-spirited and eccentric, they can often be identified by their offbeat fashion sensibilities, unusual hobbies, and nonconformist attitude. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet that governs innovation, technology, and surprising events. Uranus perfectly mirrors Aquarius's distinctive attitude, complementing the nontraditional nature of these visionary air signs. Aquarians are big thinkers, but mustn't forget their immediate surroundings.
