I totally agree with you.
People need to stop feeling so high and mighty that they think they can judge people for mourning, of all things. Do you think that you can tell someone when to stop? I'm sorry if it annoys people that some people in this country have compassion, yet they may not remember every horrible thing that has happened on this earth. Some people were quite closely effected, like you could have been. And they will never get over it; out of human respect, everyone should understand that.
People lost mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters.
Some people can be so disrespectful.
Ya know, I hate that we're in a war, but I'll be d*mned if I don't support them. My brother-in-law is over in Afghanistan RIGHT NOW on his second tour. And my best friend's fiance just got back from Afghanistan.
This is our history. This is something OUR generation lived through, just like the people before us in WWI and WWII and every other war or disaster we've had.
It's so crazy because I never thought something like that would happen in my lifetime. I was 11 years old, and I know I will never ever forget where I was that day or what I felt.
