re: Remember our True heroes today

As a younger guy, I too would have likely met a down vote of your op w/anger. Now, as a "middle aged" guy, when I see stuff like that, different emotions are stirred. Initially, I try and write it off to trolling. But when the down votes mount up, I'm lead to believe that we have a country being filled up w/those that eat from the harvest of fields that saw not a single drop of their sweat. While that doesn't bother me all that much - our country is kinda designed to work that way - it would just be nice if those unintended beneficiaries just remained silent, as opposed to taking anonymous cheap shots.

Look, there's certainly nothing wrong w/dissention. Its the literal basis of our county's foundation. I see almost daily examples of that country's government getting it wrong. Let's focus our criticism there though, as opposed to cheapening the sacrifice of the lives lost. Those very lives are what gave all of us - even anonymous down voters - the right to dissent.
