Suppose that you want to honor a great writer or other person whose work helped to make you who you are.

Would you do this through a cheap parody that you wrote quickly without ever thinking it through? Would you take just one of the themes that you loved and use it completely out of context, never trying to relate it to the rest of the work? Would you toss the works you love into a pile and let them fall into disrepair?

Obviously not. None of this makes sense.

Let’s look at the great legacy of our veterans, the blood and tears that they gave willingly to make this nation what it is. How do we honor their memory? How do we treat the armed forces that they once used to create liberty, to free the slaves, to liberate the world?

We have always been a nation slow to anger but willing to commit all of ourselves behind the causes that we were compelled to fight over. We do not fight casually, and we do not fight unless the goals are clear. And when our soldiers came home, they were always taken care of.

Today, as we quietly honor those who cam before, we must all think about the terrible dishonor brought upon our legacy as a nation by the supposed leaders we have today. We must stop this disgrace.
