My grandfather's brother was a Marine. He died at the beginning of the Bataan march. Approximately ten year later after WWII ended my grandfather received news about his brother's remains being found and identified. It was so heartbreaking for my grandfather he died on that same day when he learned about it. My great uncle rests at Arlington National Cemetery. Having PTSD emotions can become strong especially on days like Memorial Day.

I am a South African but I respect America and all her soldiers and all of them who served I salute to them. Our soldiers deserve a memorial day as well to all them who served in the border war many young men died in that war including my uncle my dad's best friend he died 41 years ago at the age of 19 my dad and many other men cary scars of the border war many strugle and I know many in America strugle to I will pray for them all and there familys and to the soldiers who died I will pray for there familys may God be with America and her soldiers and her people. "Salute"

[@sliderstruth]

The Soldiers that have fought and continue to fight are our TRUE national treasures. We haven't even began to pay them for the sacrifices they've made on and off the battlefield... and the truth is we will never be capable of repaying them but we damn sure owe them more than they've been given and that's if you agree with the wars our country fights or not. They never had a choice In that. All politicians should be required to have served In some military branch. I have a feeling our country would be in much better shape if that requirement was placed on every political office in the United States. Thank a soldier today.

[@scarf459]

[@americanbulldog9216]

Thank you to all the great men and women who have served and sacrificed so much; especially the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It is a with great sadness that I list these young men who tragically died in AAV accident on July 30, 2020 due to negligence of their commanders as well as equipment failure. These young men didn’t have to die the way they did. As a mother of a Marine veteran who was friends with some of these men it breaks my heart to hear and see the pain in my child’s face when they talk about this accident. They themselves have took up the burden of their friends deaths since their commanders don’t want to except responsibility for their negligence. As their team leader in a prior MOS they feel they let them down by not training them well enough to survive this type of accident. My child has tried to take their own life because of this accident they feel they failed their friends and was not their to save them. As a mom who still sleeps with her phone even though my child is out of the Marines. The nightmares still haunt them and I will always be there to answer their call day or night to help them through the struggles of dealing with their nightmares they suffer from their time serving and losing 6 close friends and numerous others that they knew during their time time of service. It has been the hardest on my child losing their friends especially with the loss of Cpl. Wesley A. Rodd because he will never get to be there to watch his son grow up. My child would gladly give their life to have saved all of them but mostly Cpl Rodd who had a newborn son. They will never be forgotten my child will make sure of that. This is totally my opinion and should not reflect on my Marine veteran. Rest in peace Marines and Navy Corpsmen. You will never be forgotten. 1. Cpl. Wesley A. Rodd, 22, of Harris, Texas, a rifleman, husband ; a new father. Who left behind a his wife and a newborn son who will never know what a terrific father he had. 2. Lance Cpl. Guillermo S. Perez, a 19-year-old rifleman from New Braunfels, Texas, 3. Pfc. Bryan J. Baltierra, 18, of Corona, California, a rifleman. 4. Lance Cpl. Marco A. Barranco, 21, of Montebello, California, a rifleman. 5. Pfc. Evan A. Bath, 19, of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, a rifleman. 6. U.S. Navy Hospitalman Christopher Gnem, 22, of Stockton, California, a hospital corpsman. 7. Pfc. Jack Ryan Ostrovsky, 20, of Bend, Oregon, a rifleman. 8. Lance Cpl. Chase D. Sweetwood, 18, of Portland, Oregon, a rifleman. 9. Cpl. Cesar A. Villanueva, 21, of Riverside, California, a rifleman.

Soldiers and officers, heroes both, embody valor's creed, protecting with unwavering might and noble deed. Yes, and we should not allow Homeowners associations and their mgt/collections to ignore a disabled veteran's checks and communications, foreclose and not inform him of the sale. A $400k house with $300k in equity sold for pennies. Family members are veterans, one a colonel. It's a travesty of justice and unconscionable. It happened in Nevada. Call the lawmakers.
