Celebrating All Heroes (April 7, 2014)
. . .
L “Opening the season with a celebration of heroes with guts and guns is appropriate. Also acknowledging those with guts but no guns is appropriate but undone.”
M “There is much singing, but they are the real unsung heroes.”
L “Those who challenge the need for needless wars are never celebrated at public celebrations.”
M “They are the ones who would prefer that heroic deeds be done in stateside villages. Teach a kid to read, build a park, plant a garden.”
. . .
M “Those who may not acknowledge their quarrel with their prior military campaign often wear patches that proclaim: ‘All gave some; some gave all.’ They are less likely to carry a sign or sport a bumper sticker that observes: ‘There are no unwounded soldiers.’”
L “Those who gave some and are not unwounded occasionally snap.”
. . .
Bumper stickers and patches of the week:
All gave some; some gave all
There are no unwounded soldiers
