`This day is odd for me. Every single father and father figure in my life has been in the military. Grandfathers, cousins, aunts, uncles, and definitely a large handful of my friends.
I honor those who fought and died and I also honor those who are currently in the military (whatever branch) fighting for this country. Especially since over half of them went in for reasons other than pride--more survival.
I feel quite honored, sometimes, to be in a country where my voice is not always muffled and muted. I work hard but I cannot say that I am suffering and I am glad for that. These men have been fighting for our country's honor and young, old and especially to those whose lives were taken--thank you.

`war what is it good for, "absolutly nothing." the song by WAR. please write to your congressmen, legislature, senators. let them know that our veterans need medical attention for the woes of war. i have advocated for many, many Vietnam Veterans due to their health & mental issues. their are many that do not receive any kind of benefits. i know because i am one of them. now our veterans that are coming back from the middle east are facing these same issues. can we kill another person & live with these killings. the shock of killing another human being is there & you never forget. then as you see it day to day, you become immune to it, we become more lethal. but it haunts you for the rest of your life. this is why our veterans have so many problems adjusting back to civilian life. PTS is what it's call. we are not prepared for all the destruction that comes with war. this is the darkness that touches us from the inside. PEACE.

`War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
I said, war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing
But a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it's got one friend
That's the undertaker
Ooooh, war, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Ooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing
