Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
And for those who lump all our military men and women into categories of war mongers, baby killers and terrorists then spit on them, just know that these armed forces members will still stand tall, risk their own lives and protect even you against the enemy. Those who died protecting our freedom are the ones we acknowledge today. Be sure and thank the living who put on the uniform and were willing to make those same sacrifices.
I am on twitter under monimania(its boring) and that young man who is an Iraq war veteran is J.R. Martinez, he is a good guy if you go on "find people" on the top right it gives suggestions of famous people on there :)
