Editor,
The headlines read, “Disturbing report: USAF dumped ashes of at least 275 service members into Virginia landfill.” This is reality, people; it’s not made up. What has happened to this nation? Why is it only now this is coming to light? Why in heaven’s name cannot a special crypt be added next to the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington where the ashes can be placed? After all, are not these blessed human remains unknown but to God? I’ve reached my limit with all this. How many vets are in the US today? Has no one the guts to command a general mobilization of the vets, regardless of age? Have we become a nation of cowards, spineless wonders, crybabies? Stand tall; remember who we are. Remember those who died believing they were doing the right thing. A peaceful march and takeover of the halls of government are in order. Where are the general officers of the military; are you hiding? Are you worried you might lose your precious pension — you who ordered men and now women to their death while you stayed far to the rear? Where are you? You know your general orders just as we do; you took the oath just as we did. Yet you sit on your butts while our Constitution, our Republic, is being ripped to pieces before our very eyes. Where are you who went to USMA, USNA, USCGA, USAFA, USMMA, gutless wonders all? It’s time; it’s time to hear the call. Who among you are truly brave enough to come out of hiding and call the roll of we, the veterans of this great nation? Call us into action and retake our nation; defend your oath as you swore to do. Stand and be counted; do not cower behind close doors; let us see you at the front leading us.
