Thoughts after my trip to GETTYSBURG.
"When you go home, tell them of us and say,
for their tomorrow, we gave our today."
- John Maxwell Edmonds.
As I walked the Fields and Grounds where so many died to preserve
and defend the Greatest Political Experiment in Human History, and
end an Indefensible Evil, the above words kept coming back to me. Yes, they
were written after the American Civil War, and have applications to many
conflicts, but they mean so much given the upcoming U.S. Election.
My God, to think of the Sacrifice so many have made over the course of U.S.
History being Ignored and Rejected by the idea of placing a Convicted Criminal
and Traitor who tried to overthrow the U.S. CONSTITUTION AND A LEGALLY
ELECTED GOVERNMENT IS BEYOND DISTURBING. IT IS VILE AND DISGUSTING.
Remembering the Honored Fallen is more than just something that should be recognized
a few days on the Calendar. It is preserving the Rights, Protections, and Freedoms that
was worth giving all that they had to give.
DON'T LET THEM DOWN.
