POW/MIA

My son Glenn took this picture at the Ocean City Maryland inlet during Bike Week this weekend.

Please Zoom In.
See the POW/MIA and the saying “Some Gave All”? That came out of Nam!! The rest is “All Gave Some/Some Gave all”.
I do the POW-MIA Silent table every Memorial Day and Veterans Day at our Memorial at the Civic Center.
The last words I read are “The chair is empty-they are not here”.
As you may have guessed, POW-MIA is my “thing”. TEARS!

As of 6/23/17 
  • WWII 30314 MIA.
  • “ Viet Nam 2583. But I saw one site that listed 2056 MIA.
  • “ Korea 8025.
  • Regardless, the numbers are way to high.

Has anyone noticed how Vietnam vets are reducing in number? We used to talk about WW2 vets dying off.In 5 years all WW2 vets will have died and attention will shift to N Korea and Vietnam vets.If anyone out there believes in the power of math,that means another war is on the horizon.

Our Government is more interested intaking care of 9/11 for 75 years than care for our Vets and their families still struggling. Nobody wants to mention Vets after WWII. Also the Government wants to concentrate on taking care of illegals instead of our Vets and their families. This shows how pathetic the US politics has gotten. Also lets us know the communist / Muslim overthrow of the US government is winning.

Bitch of it is, the government never sends their sons and daughters into harms way. But have no problem sending ours. I think it's time we stop going to war until they DO send theirs right along side us.
