How do we really support the troops?
This is about war, but only from a distance. When I read about deaths in Iraq or Afghanistan, it mostly seems a world away. On the rare occasion it gets personal, I can’t help but be reminded that war, particularly this war, seems a waste of young lives.
Memories prevent me from celebrating Veterans Day
By Jim Joyce
