Memorial Day - Remember

I used AI to generate this image. The message is something I posted in 2024 after a friend called. He lost his son to suicide because of PTSD. Please feel free to take, share and use it however you like. I believe it's an important message to get across. I've seen several posts this year from friends and family that have lost people they love to this unseen ghost.

Amen.   We owe them more.

I was in the Army from 67 to 70 when we had a half million GIs in Viet Nam.  Fortunately for me, I was sent to S. Korea.  But, a friend died over there, my first cousin was shot in the abdomen but survived and another friend came home with a creased helmet that was shot off his head.   Almost everybody my age, 82, knows someone who died over there.  I am a student of history and the heroes who sacrificed themselves in WWI and WW2, the Korean war and all the others are owed a tremendous debt.  If anyone would like to know more about the war in the Pacific during WWII, watch Battle 360 on youtube.  It's a series of programs mostly following the Aircraft carrier Enterprise, the only carrier we had that survived the entire war.  It's an amazing story.
