Last year in May, I was responsible for bringing the Wall That Heals to Morton. I was happy to do it. It was a labor of love. I needed to do it; not for Morton but for myself. It gave me some closure that I needed.
recently I have been complaining about how little is made of the deaths of our military personnel compared to the mania brought on by the deaths of a celebrity. The Jackson Mania is a prime example. At the same time we had tv specials for Farrah, Ed McMahon and even pitchman Billy Mayes. There were several deaths in Afghanistan during the same period as the deaths of these celebrities. Which got the most press coverage?
I moaned and groaned about the priorities of Americans for a while. I even wrote about it on my other blog. It made me feel good................for about 2 seconds. Then I wondered to myself...What are you doing to honor our heroes? I read the daily press releases for the Department of Defence and then go about my business.
All that stops TODAY! Today I have begun a production that will honor our fallen throughout the world wide web. I have begun a project of making a website that will honor our fallen on the anniversary of their deaths. go to the site today and you will see the names of those whose deaths occurred on this month and date. visit it tomorrow and you will see the names of those who died on tomorrow's month and date. The page changes automatically. the same URL address is used no mater what the date is.
The site can be found at http://nam-vet.net/thisdate.htm
