Favorite Quote: 
"To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth"~~Voltaire

"Nothing is the same, even as nothing changes. The ghosts of war are chained to America 's ankles, as it marches onward. I have a poster from the days of Vietnam . I have kept it all these years as a reminder of the politics behind war. It is a photograph of Arlington Cemetery , neat orderly rows of white headstones, on green grass, below a sunny sky. The caption reads: We are the unwilling, led by the unqualified, to do the unnecessary, for the ungrateful." ~ John Corry, A Vietnam Veteran who received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star with V device.

Vincent L. Guarisco is a freelance writer from Arizona, a contributing writer for many web sites, and a lifetime founding member of the International Alliance of Atomic Veterans (with AAV here in the US). The 21st century, once so full of shining promise, now threatens to force countless millions of us at home and abroad into a dark abyss of languishing poverty and silent servitude; a lowly prodigy of painful struggle and suffering that could stream for generations to come. I’m wishing for a miracle, before it is too late, the masses will figure it out and will stand as one and roar. So, pass the word — it’s past time to take back what is ours — the American Dream where the pursuit of happiness, the ability to live in a free and peaceful nation is a reality. We bought it, and we paid for it. It’s time to take it back.
