18 years ago today, I waited in a blood donation line in downtown DC for a couple hours before someone came out and said they couldn’t take any more blood. Hope you can find another way to help, they said. That’s when I decided I would join the military.
A lot of us made that decision that day. It’d be good if we didn’t lose sight of a major error that was made in the aftermath. With the country united and ready to serve and sacrifice for one another, President Bush cut taxes and urged Americans to “go shop.”
How might history have been different if, instead, he had issuesd war bonds and challenged us to frame them instead of cashing them in? What if he had vastly expanded Americorps and Peace Corps and called upon my generation to serve in some capacity?
I’m not trying to make today about relitigating history. However, we are stronger as a nation when we take honest account of how our decisions played out. The point of noting our history is to learn from it.
Thank you for standing for our Country and fighting. Not an easy decision and as we know you and many, many other are still feeling the reverberation of that choice to serve. God Bless and Prayers to continued healing man! KC is damn much to have you!
I understand the sentiment, but this is ... not a good reason to join the military
it's the best reason. answering your nation's call in its greatest hour of need is most honorable.
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service.
100 percent agree more funding should be pushed to Ameri/Peace corps. I was denied military service, and eventually did a year in Americorps, a month of which was spent in NOLA summer 2006. Great programs for all parties involved
God bless you
