2 perspectives from Denver: Veterans, and youth
2008-08-25 15:49:00 I've spoken with several veterans of U.S. military service in Denver, and unsurprisingly they mostly express strong support for the Democratic candidate. One outspoken Viet Nam vet was basing his support on his assessment of the lack of support for vets he percieved in Senator McCain's voting record.Generally, however, I was hearing more "Pro-Obama" sentiment expressed than I was "anti-McCain" on Sunday, as the visitors to the city took on a distinctly Democratic leaning on the eve of the opening day's events. Oliver Lawrence, for instance, is an Air Force veteran of both Korea and Viet Nam, a fifth generation descendant of slaves who has lived in Georgia all his life. Taking in the pre-convention activities, he describes feeling a very different sort of energy among the delegates when compared to previous election cycles.Oliver also spent the late 50s on duty in Wyoming, when duty sometimes meant babysitting ICBMs, as it did in his case. I chatted with him as we walked along...

Salute to Veterans, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2008-05-27 07:00:00 Most of my efforts on Capitol Hill are focused on reducing the federal government?s size and scope, but I make an exception for a very important group of people. Our nation?s men and women in uniform commit a selfless act of patriotism when they take up arms in defense of our country. As a veteran myself, I salute all those currently serving, or who have served in our armed forces. Our nation owes them a debt of gratitude for their sacrifices, their courage, their time away from friends and family, and the dangers they undertake. This Memorial Day we honor our soldiers and vets, we remember those who never came home, or who have since passed on. Above all, we acknowledge our respect for all who have served in the military. Congress has considered several bills this past week that would affect veterans. Many of the measures are very positive. I applaud efforts to shore up health care for veterans, and make sure that veterans know about the services available to them. I stron...
Memorial Day Truth | The astounding rate of suicide among US war veterans
2008-05-26 19:24:00 "In this war ? as in others ?

Honoring Our Veterans
2008-05-23 00:00:00 Branson has long been a destination for America's veterans. Veterans are honored here every day, year-round. Thousand of folks line the downtown sidewalks every November for the Annual Veterans Day Parade. It has always been sponsored by American Legion Post 220. Would you believe that this year will be the 75th year?! It is one of the best-attended Veterans Day events in the nation. At the music shows, veterans have always been asked to stand and be recognized. It has always been heartwarming to see veterans standing to applause and recognition, and it always brings moisture to my eyes that I cannot deny. Branson and Missouri believe in our country, our veterans and family values. It is one of the joys and pleasures of living in the Ozarks!
