You are courageous beyond words to sign up for the line of duty you have.
What ever your reason,
be it to support your family or it being a family tradition its amazing that we have souls so courageous they would risk their lives to serve and protect their people.
When our nations need you, you are there for us.
Unfortunately it has always infuriated many of us since being a small children that any should use you as a pawn in complete disregard for the human being you are while you serve...
Business people seeing you as if you are some auto generated computer component that can be easily replaced, like an in a video game.
To us you have always been individuals with names and stories.
Who deserve to be treated well in life not just with pagentry to pretend like you are cherished and respected.
Our countrymen have served together in many wars, and every veterans day/ rememberance day as a child I would listen to the stories from the veterans and wonder how anything so horrible could have ever happened.
Its frightning seeing these things beginning to repeat....
We have unfortunately lost many friends to the last few wars, and even if they returned home they were forever changed beyond recognition from the innocent souls we once knew.
How we all learned that war can be started by lies, and even proven to be lies thanks to brave individuals serving and outting corruption.
Its astounding how there has never been justice for these souls lost in war either while the ones who created it still get together for their wealthy meetings on how they should forcefully govern our world.
Even recently like with what happened in Nigeria with sgt La Johnson and his body not even having been returned and his widow lied to about it being him, her not even allowed to see him.
While their daughter now has to grow up without her father.....
I know you are brothers in arms, and you carry the same scars and conditioning.
You have so much support now finally to help with healing through it all.
You are persons, with passions and interests.
What else do you want to do in life for your country and world?
There are many who have served to come home to do so much to help them be known for who they are as individuals.
LikeBob ross who retired from the air force to live his dream as a painter.
Vowing never to yell again.
I wish for kids to always see you as the heroes you know you are, but that goes for both sides of the conflict.Kids on the other side of conflict might have come to view you as monsters and thats NOT who you are.
Your mother knows it, your close friends know it but you were just following orders...
Forgive yourself for anything you regret.
You can begin again ♡ right now.
Sometimes we understand your duty IS needed, but so often this conflict has been for the benefit of very few $$$.
At home
Our countries need help when it comes to the ever increasing risk of flooding or fires.
Thank you for helping in these times, as we do little to combat the shifts in weather and melting ice caps adding more liquid water to our planet that eventually becomes precipitation.
In the future:
I hope no one ever becomes used as a sacrifice for the profit of some one else again...
We love you~
And hope you can always be at peace in life, not just in death.
Thank you for all you do, and if need be given the circumstances refuse to do.
