Memorial Day is when Americans thank and honor those veterans who gave their time, health, and often lives to fight for the freedom of our country and others around the world. They have kept us free and they have our grateful gratitude.
Maybe it is also time to honor those 311,000 United States children that have suffered through a school shooting since Columbine in Aril of 1999. Their lives have been disrupted, many suffer from PTSD for school shootings and constant "live fire drills', and the hundreds that have lost their lives to "protect" the second amendment. They too sacrificed themselves at the alter of the United States Constitution, as defined by the NRA.
Proudly I honor the soldiers and sadly I honor the children and other victims of mass shootings.
