A Memorial Day Press Release From Some American Veterans We will no longer participate in selective mourning only America's war dead. We will mourn all victims of war, the millions of civilians, the hundreds of thousands of our designated enemies fallen in their motherlands, and then, having put others first, as in common humility, will we mourn the tens of thousands of our very own fellow citizens who sacrificed their lives for, or thinking it was for, the good of our nation.

Mourn Not Honor Americans Who Died in Dishonorable Murderous Wars for GOP DEMS & Wall St. Deep State
Mourn! Not Honor!, Our Dying in Dishonorable, Murderous Wars I nstead of solemn mourning, on Memorial Day, media, having tricked us into fighting and dying in unjust, murderous wars based on lies, now hypes our inglorious death as beautiful military service to entice recruits. Save the use of the words 'honor' and 'praise' for someone like Muhammad Ali, who refused to do what most American, for all patriotic intentions, unfortunately went along with. Mourn civilian deaths and ours together.

Most War Dead Are Civilians: On Memorial Day, Mourn Them First To honor only US military dead is to glorify the military mindset. Non-Americans watching CNN in Korea, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, Panama, Afghanistan, and Iraq will likely be squinting in grim incredulity at American indifference to the loss of THEIR countrymen's lives. Memorial Day is NOT Veterans' Day, but a day of solemn mourning, let's be inclusive

U.S. Military Deaths Glorified - Indifferent Scorn for the Non-American Millions Grieving Memorial Day, originally intended as a solemn day of mourning for families has long become an opportunity for jingoistic media, deceiving politicians and recruiting officers to glorify warfare as a means to entrap the young. Loved ones cut down for having gotten 'in harms way' of invading & occupying U.S. military are not considered. Author recalls the hype of each war. We honor the dead best by mourning our ignorance.

Honor Our Fallen by Remembering All Those Fallen 'Foreigners'. How best to serve our fallen soldiers' memory while remembering the millions of 'foreigners' who were killed by our countrymen? Put ourselves in the shoes of Korean, Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, Panamanian, Iraqi and Afghan bereaved families. Could we even imagine such bombings upon US towns and countryside? We can improve the whole world and ourselves with such imagination. Make a War Victims Day to foster war prevention.
