The Out Cry for the Veterans’ yesterday was encouraging and discouraging!!

There were SUPPOSEDLY THOUSANDS in WASHINGTON at the RALLY. 

 Personally I believe it deserved far more coverage than it received.

I am not a republican or a democrat.

I was disappointed that the REPUBLICAN'S used this moment to PROMOTE their own agenda.


However, there were moments of encouragement from where we stood in Columbia:

THOUGH we were unable to go to WASHINGTON, there were stations around AMERICA, where people could join to RALLY.

We joined the few that were in Columbia SC yesterday for the RALLY for the Veterans’.

It was a very PEACEFUL RALLY, and I was very glad to see it was supported by so many.

We were there pretty early, and the group got considerably larger after Church let out.

That was encouraging to me.

When the CHURCH BODY decides to rise up “PEACEFULLY” and HELP the UNJUST ACTIONS of the GOVERNMENT, I believe it is RIGHTEOUS and IN LINE WITH THE WORD.

The major of the people attending at our site were professing Christians.

There were many discussions about the LORD, and the problems in this Country.

MAINLY we STAYED FOCUSED ON THE POINT OF "WHY" we were there:

To SUPPORT THE VETERAN'S:

We wanted our VOICES KNOWN,, about the Abuse of the government USING the ELDERLY, HONORABLE VETERANS, the WEAK, the POOR, the downtrodden  

 AS an EXAMPLE of their power and authority.

Don't you know, they never attack the STRONG MAN, it is always the WEAK that are ABUSED FIRST.

You could be next!! 

My heart goes out to these VETERAN’S:

1. Because they are in a point in their lives where they don’t have to ability to protect themselves. WE have to stand up for them, just as we have to stand up for the OPHANES and WIDOWS.

2. THEY “EARNED IT”  UNLIKE SO MANY TODAY. These guys had HONOR, and INTEGRITY  OFTEN FIGHTING a WAR they didn't even believe in.

  They carried a heavy burden on their backs for MY FREEDOM and the FREEDOM of this COUNTRY.

3. Many of them go to these memorials to find comfort and healing.  To FEEL CONNECTED.  As sad as this sounds, due to their scarring many have lost the ability to cop with the way the world works anymore. They prefer the quite space of these memorials for reflection, mourning and healing.

I personally do not know HOW WE CAN NOT HELP THEM, by at the very least allowing them to go to a memorial that brings them COMFORT, and a sense of WORTH.

Columbia has a WONDERFUL memorial to the Veteran’s. of our COUNTRY.

It has about 5 acres of land, with monuments devoted to the many WARS and Warriors that have died defending the USA..

What I saw yesterday, were PEOPLE that TRULY CARED, APPRECIATED, and  were FOCUSED on the NEEDS of these men.

I WITNESSED MANY OF THE VETERANS:

Several of the VETERANS came out to join us.  Many of them  preferred to sit quietly by their memorial.. " IE the MEMORIAL that represented the WAR that they were in.

Most of them sat ALONE, QUIETLY, SOLEMNLY, somewhat MOURNFULLY by these MEMORIALS. Often taking the time to THANK those that came out to DEFEND THEM.

My heart went out to them, because you could almost feel the REFLECTIONS in their hearts, of despair and pain, and great loss.

SHAME ON AMERICA, SHAME on a GOVERNMENT that picks the ELDER  HERO'S of this COUNTRY to use as an example of their POWER and AUTHORITY.

I am not a PATRIOT of this COUNTRY in the condition she is in, but I will stand up for the downtrodden HEROES, the children, and the widows…AMEN AND AMEN.
