November 11th is called Veterans Day in the States.
I'm a veteran, my nephew is currently serving in the US Navy, my father was a decorated combat veteran of the Korean War. There's been a member of our family serving in the military since our revolution against Great Britain. An ancestor of mine was with Washington at Valley Forge. Several of my direct ancestors fought on the Union side of the Civil War to end slavery.
After my nephew retires from the navy, that will be the end of it. No more of us will join. We bled for the USA and what did we get in return? Shoved aside for the very rich and for illegal immigrants. There are no remembrance ceremonies for the war dead in our town and no care for the veterans left crippled or homeless as a consequence of their service. But free homes and free money for anyone who sneaks across the border, and more money for the rich men who decide to take us to war. They can do it without our family. Perhaps they can convince their new friends from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Venezuela to do their dirty work for them.
I'm flying the flag today, the only person in our neighborhood to do so, and wondering what our sacrifice was for. We thought it was to win ourselves a home and keep it, but it's been taken from us.
