We can listen as the D.J. plays "America The Beautiful", or "God Bless America", on the radio today, and feel all warm and fuzzy as though we've done some sort of patriotic duty...as veterans wait months to see a V.A. doctor, or sit in homeless shelters.
I enjoyed that poem <i><b>Peetster</i></b>, but I can see that not a whole lot has changed after all these years. But, I suppose that I should be grateful that at least this one day has been set aside to honor the vets.
<i>*edit*</i>I do note, as I type this, that after 21 "views" the only responses are from vets. Eh, I'm sure that'll change shortly.
