Right back atcha rambler!

Sounds like you have brought up a respectful son....very impressive. I'll go look for that article....

Wow - great post! My oldest son traditionally plays taps on his trumpet from our front porch at 3pm on Memorial Day. It's his offering.

I recently wrote an article about PTSD and our troops. One thing that I was reading about before writing my article is some of the things that are lacking in their daily routines in Iraq - such as lack of sleep. Our soldiers are literally walking

dana: I hope you do that story. They (the VA) are overwhelmed and their troubles have been well documented. However, their successes are woefully under documented.

In addition to the survivability and viability of injured combatants (ours AND theirs!), our medics coming home are reporting to ER's around the country with experience and technological know-how that is

tismee: I remember your Seaworld story and it's awesome. I agree that troop support - as I suspect it was during Vietnam - eventually becomes linked to the political furor over our role in the war so over time I think both allies (US & UK) see less and less overt troop support because it implies support of an unpopular war. Sad all around really.

Thanks again for your service

anon: I don't think it is widespread institutional bias against the troops, but merely the lack of adequate planning for the accomodations needed for all these young men/women who go from high school to the horrors of combat and then back again.

talisman: I was in my truck yesterday at 3pm and happened to be passing a bank (which was closed) with their flag at 1/2 staff. I stopped and parked and reflected. The bank was next to a Wal-Mart, whose parking lot was FULL and bustling with activity. So right you are.

Of course honoring the fallen is so much more than a moment of silence one day per year, but your point is

Interesting Michael - I was actually planning a post on the toll this war (which I support) is taking on our VA Medical Centers. The chances of living through an injury in this war are far greater than they ever have been as the quality of medical care in the field is comparable to what we have available here.

On another note, my 13 year old step-daughter, as I was talking about the

I'm pretty sure the moment of silence was passed up by the sounds of cash registers ringing up merchandise.

I can't even imagine what a slap in the face it must be to a family member of a fallen soldier to have the most important thing for this day being a hotdog before a shopping spree.

On NPR today (Monday) Diane Rehm's show, a rebroadcast of her program on Veteran's and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, reinforced the critical need for care and for concern for our veterans. What a sad situation it is for our young men and women to have to wait months for care and then for that care to be wholly inadequate, partially because of lack of funding and partially because of apathy and
