    Blessings to all the families.

    Epitaph
    By Merrit Malloy



    When I die
    Give what’s left of me away
    To children
    And old me that wait to die.

    And if you need to cry,
    Cry for your brother
    Walking the street beside you.
    And when you need me,
    Put your arms
    Around anyone
    And give them
    What you need to give to me.

    I want to leave you something,
    Something better
    Than words
    Or sounds.

    Look for me
    In the people I’ve known
    Or loved,
    And if you cannot give me away,
    At least let me live on in your eyes
    And not your mind.

    You can love me most
    By letting
    Hands touch hands,
    By letting bodies touch bodies,
    And by letting go
    Of children
    That need to be free.

    Love doesn’t die,
    People do.
    So, when all that’s left of me
    Is love,
    Give me away.

    ThanQ American Woman for teaching me this.

    They shot bad guys...whether or not they should have shot bad guys in another country or not is not the issue, although you are saying it is, I support your right to say that, But, those that lost their lives were obviously not taught about our constitution...they were only told of the honor in defending it....and in that, I solute them.

    The military probably has the same percentage of the awakened as private society has.

    While I have respect for those who do defend freedom, I do not offer trophies or tribute to those who just follow (immoral) orders. Would you praise those military who followed orders to sink the ships of Ragnar Danneskjöld?

    It's the Government, it's not the fault of the Troops. They thought they were engaging America's enemy on their own turf.
    This tribute is not to Government, the global delete, it's the tribute to those that have gotten caught up in the middle of all this.

    Where exactly are they "protecting" American freedoms? Afghanistan?
    They are following illegal, immoral orders and waging war in countries where there is no reason to do so.
    If they were protecting American freedom they would be investigating the 2020 elections and assuring that
    it was valid. They would be defending the borders of America, not invading near defenseless countries on
    orders from looting politicians who are controlled by enemies of America.

    There is no honor in getting killed by following unconstitutional orders.

    Sorrow often follows when confronted with views of the fallen but this time, it's so much more so...
