    Is anybody remembering these kids?

    Video Here!
    safe to click


    They were drafted from all over the Soviet Union for this blasphemy, just like our U.S. kids in the '60s.

    "I shall strive to abstain from killing." is a phrase that our politicians should repeat to themselves each and every day!

    That was very interesting. However, this is our veterans day. It is to honor our veterans, regardless of your opinion on any wars.

    Thanks Vets.

    Tears in my eyes today!

    For all of the world's youth who have been conscripted and forced to participate in these blasphemies. For all the moms and dads who had their boys come home in a box.

    BTW; I served from '52 to '72. For the historically handicapped that includes Korea and Nam.

    I served in Vietnam and to me personally Veterans Day is the day the vets go to work while the non-vets get the day off.

    That was hard for me to watch. Even though I didn't get there till 1971 watching that brought to many memories none of them good...

    Peace
