Decoration Day In Tennessee

By Kleinheider Posted on May 26, 2008 at 1:32 pm

Joe Powell and others share their thoughts on Memorial Day:

I’d like to think most of us have moved past the idea that support and encouragement of our troops - the men and women who volunteer to serve in the military and not the hired contractors who serve to make a profit - does not mean support for the war in Iraq. I have never supported it and still cannot. But make no mistake - I have friends and family who serve now and have served in decades past. I’ve seen them used and abused and I simply hope for their safe return home and for greater wisdom to direct our armed forces.

I don’t sport bumper stickers or yellow ribbons, but I know many who do. Sometimes, they are presented by the wives and husbands and parents and children and brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and more who wait here at home anxious for their loved ones to return home. I tell my elected representatives in government when they’ve been wise and when they’ve been unwise when deploying the military.
