Memorial Day weekend 2017, Saturday night..

PBS, watching "American War Stories : Vietnam"

I raised my only "child" to be a PATRIOT.
& to respect the SERVICE of Vietnam Veterans.
I have always been a Pacifist.
My Son enlisted, after September 11th,
was deployed to Iraq.
His Mama didn't sleep for 3 years.
She nearly lost her Mind.

I am lucky & Blessed.. MY Son came HOME,
& got OUT.. WHOLE, healthy and strong.
Thanks God.

I will never forget..or forgive..
when our Country sent Our Sons & Daughters
to war, through lies & deception.
Thank YOU, Vets. We *ARE* Family.
I Love Y'all.
