A Nation, War, Bloodshed and Community

I am a veteran of the United States Army, trained many years ago.
I remember reviewing information which would help a soldier identify
aircraft, tanks, flags etc.
We would be prepared to face an enemy from any nation; only the enemy isn't
across the waters any longer, not on different continents but right here at home.
 From my point of view:
Our nation has declared war on drugs
Our nation has declared war on crime
Our nation has declared war on education
 (making sure our children are better prepared for college)
Our nation has declared war on obesity
Our nation has declared war on healthcare or lack there of
Our nation has declared war on homelessness
Our nation has began to pursue a strategy on mental illness

And Yet

There is a polititian who has declared war on the current administration and has decided
to place blame on the President of United States. I don't understand the mindset.
Forty-nine innocent people lost their lives; 53 injured and the majority of those killed were Hispanic.
This terriorist targeted a people as well as a community.



Terriorism is a beast that our government fights continually and strategically.

Hate breeds Hate....

The blood that was shed was red!  Blood flowing within us helps us substain Life!
It doesn't matter what your race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation is....
The Blood is still Red....

The people in Orlando are hurting!!!!
Father's day won't be celebrated in some households this weekend!
Preparations for homegoings will be the task at hand!
Coming to grips with the loss of loved ones will be the priority!
Politians show compassion, let the nation see your HUMANITY!
The families need to see that their loss matters not polititcal strategy!

HOW ABOUT COMPASSION, PEACE and HUMILITY!
