Forgotten Again
I don't post much, anywhere, and here I am posting two in quick succession on this site.
I just watched on TV the ceremony from Arlington National Cemetery. The speech from President Obama carried with it much more than just words from the current President. He represents the past and present and future of this nation and as Commander-in-Chief he has a duty and obligation to treat all veterans of all wars with equal reference and dignity. I was saddened and offended and angered that he failed to mention in his speech either the Korean War or veterans of this war. He went right from WW II to VietNam and the omission was glaring to me. One of the tombs directly in front of him represents the Unknown Soldier of the Korean War and with the recent launch by North Korea of another missile and the detonation of an underground nuclear device, all a direct result of this unfinished war, what does it take for the Korean War veterans to be on his mind ?
