All the blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifices over the years. I think about all the Vets that I knew growing up, relatives, neighbors, then on the various jobs. Many of them passed on now. I was told once that funerals are not for the dead but for the living. The dead citizen warriors do desirve to be remembered.
But now Veterans day is ruined for me. It used to make me feel sad, but now all I feel is a simmering anger and rage that I can do nothing about.

This project has been ongoing for several years, mostly due to the efforts of one man, Pearl Harbor survivor Ray Emory.
