This Memorial Day....maybe do something to Remember those that have done things to help this country, there are many that work to help this country, I don't look at Memorial Day as just a Military Holiday....Whether it be a teacher that works extra jobs to buy crayons for her students....or the college kid around the corner who just joined the Peace Corp....or the retired policeman up the street who takes in stray dogs....or the VET that has come back and is discouraged about work but does Odd Jobs in the Hood and works as a bagger at the market.....Memorial Day is about Honoring people that have Served....There is more to it than burnt hot dogs at a picnic and a noisy parade....More than 30% of those that are homeless are VETS, and this week local TV stations had fundraisers for Military Families....very sad ...so I give to the local foodbank for Memorial Day....and look for other ways to give Something Back.....
At this point ....we all have to still willing to give to Heal the Bush Damage....to heal the Empathy Deficit that has been created and festered for 8 years.....

So many people flying their US flags around here... I have the PEACE flag up. I always display the US flag upside down- the official *distress* signal, while we are engaged in wars of choice.
I had the flag up for 8 years ...
all during bush..
6-6 wanted it up..
as our way of saying that even though we did not feel part of this country....or any of the bush regime....
I wish I had a peace flag....
