This is not Veterans Day weekend.  I wonder how many people really think about the losses of wars.  I wonder how many Americans think of  The hurt and the pain and yes how it affects our living vets.   Take a minute and think of the ultimate sacrafice.

I am happy to belong to a place that honors and remembers those everyday.  IGTNT is to be held in high esteem and those who remember everyday !!!!

This is a solemn time...  We do not say in good conscience. Happy Memorial Day.  We Say Remembering Those who have paid the ultimate sacrafice on Memorial Day.  There is nothing happy about it.   It is a very hard weekend as is the 4th and Veterans Day for our living vets, those especially who are fractured and suffering from PTSD.   They remember the one dying , saw the destruction including their own from the death of their brother or sister in arms.  They suffer this weekend.  

I am thinking of all of you who are reminiscing this Memorial Day.   Let the War Machine Stop.   Let the lilies of the field flourish and let us stop tearing homes apart with useless war.  

Please think of me and my family as we get through this weekend with a PTSD vet who suffers everyday from survival guilt.  

Thank you IGTNT.
Thank you to all those who sincerely step back and remember those who have lost family and friends.
