Happy Veteran's Day!
Posted by Jessica in War in Iraq
To our veterans, thank you for your service. You're bravery, service, and sacrifice is something we all admire.
In regards to our brave brave brave veterans of the Iraq War, this quote comes to mind:
"Yet not a hundred people in that battle knew for what they fought, or why; not a hundred of the inconsiderate rejoicers in the victory, why they rejoiced. Not half a hundred people were the better for the gain or loss. Not half-a-dozen men agree to this hour on the cause or merits; and nobody, in short, ever knew anything distinct about it, but the mourners of the slain."-- From The Battle of Life by Charles Dickens
