Today is Memorial Day where we honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives for our country. While there has been some drama unfolding around Vice President Kamala Harris’ Saturday tweet saying “enjoy the long weekend”, there are plenty of other things to focus on.
One including Tim Kennedy and Chris Pratt. Kennedy, a veteran himself, shared several photos showcasing the sacrifice of several military members and their families.
Pratt shared Kennedy’s photos on social media with his own caption telling people to give them their consideration. Take a look at his caption below and use the link to view the photos.
“I saw these images on @timkennedymma feed. Please, look at each one. Pause, give them your consideration. America’s exceptional armed forces have altered the course of the world for the better. From the Union Army defeating slave owning confederates, to the Greatest Generation and her Allies vanquishing the Nazis or our special operators hunting down the perpetrators of 9/11. We count the names of each fallen solider lest they be countless. They are the good guys. They run to the sound of gunfire. They know pain and suffering we never will. They have given us the most free and decent society planet earth has ever seen. We run the risk of losing that decency when we fail to instill gratitude in the minds of our youth or the perspective of what it actually means to be free- should they never learn of the selfless sacrifice of our armed service members in the face of oppressive evil. So join me in showing support for our fallen. Take a quiet moment to really consider the sacrifice. And if you use the comments section on posts like this to bitch and moan about America please understand there are countries in the world where criticizing your government will get you killed or imprisoned. Criticism is a right and necessity in amending the flawed systems of man. So by all means, let your voice be heard. But never forget your right to free expression is paid for in blood. May God give their souls rest, and may they live in our memories this weekend and always.”
