I'm ducking already
Here's what I don't get.
I'm flipping through blogs, and right away I can tell which ones are american from the weepy blurbs about memorial day. Tons of self righteous blather about how much the soldiers mean to these people, how the day is special, etc, etc, etc.
Don't get me wrong-I realize the role soldiers have and do play in our lives. I frequently think of sacrifices made daily by soldiers in real wars, but those made by those who have gone before us. I hate war, but realize that often, it's is sadly made necessary since most of our world leaders are incapable of acting the way we tell most of our toddlers to "Play nice with the weird boys sweetie.."
I think of all the GOOD things that most people could be doing instead of spreading bile and hatred, instead of having to spend time blogging about dead friends and relatives.
But mostly, I think of all the blogs I've seen, talking about how there will be a poor turnout at the parades. And I wonder, just how many of these people will put forth the effort and go? How many of these people will actually do something that might help?

Perhaps you would see things differently if you lost your husband, or your dad in a war. The reason you are seeing many "self-righteous blatherings" is because what widows and survivor's families are scared of: they have lost someone important, they are worried no one will remember. The military may not keep in constant contact with them now that their soldier is gone, but they have this one day where some people remember, and some people don't. Sure it is awful (being at war) and I'm not necessarily all that thrilled about our current President.

Well, the US Army is missing its recruitment goals... Maybe people don't care about their soldiers much beyond a few pretty words and a couple of tax dollars.

And I guess that's my complaint-it all seems like a lot of talk and no action...
People everywhere lose people all the time to the very things we SHOULD be fighting: Cancer, AIDS, i don't know, the many genocides we step back and watch happen while certain countries are invaded under pretext...
People should be doing more. And they don't. And yes, that includes me.

researching cord blood stem cell banks and came tumbling across your blog. I LOVE IT! I needed a break from cord blood stem cell banks anyways :-) If you don't mind I want to add your
blog to my favorites list so I can come back later on and read some more stuff. Well I guess I should get back to researching cord blood stem cell banks.
Even though my search is not on this post I am glad I came across your blog. Keep blogging away!
