Comments on: Veteran’s Day http://loraleeslooneytunes.com/2009/11/11/veterans-day-2/ A little crazy. A lot of fun.

Unfortunately, some are using this post for asshat commentary to spew their hateful feelings about the former administration and this war and have crossed the line of what I find acceptable. I don't care what you think of war or Bush or what you should have for dinner. The people who serve honorably are UNTOUCHABLE in my book. This is my house and you just do. not. go. there. And frankly, I don't want to read and monitor the mudslinging. This day deserves more then that. So, I am closing this post to further comments. Thank you for your understanding.

No matter whether one supports the war or not, the support for our military (and for me as a Brit living in Tennessee, that means both the US and British armed forces. Heck, that means any country who has people in Iraq and Afghanistan) is unwavering. A wonderful, but terribly sad, new tradition has sprung up in England. Whenever the body of a fallen soldier is returned to Britain, the coffin is driven through the small town of Wooton Bassett. The whole town comes to a halt as hundreds of people line the streets to pay their respects. Just yesterday, 6 fallen soldiers were honored. The saddest part of all was hearing that one of the families held up a banner declaring "Welcome Home". That's when I fell apart. Sadly for Britain, Remembrance Day (our name for Veterans Day), falls more than once a year. My heart swells with pride, yet also breaks every time when I hear about Wootton Bassett.
