Remember our military

Sunday, November 8, 2009 While we are disheartened daily with news of suicide car-bombers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other hot spots around the world killing innocent victims and our American men and women in uniform, the unimaginable occurred Thursday ... our own were critically wounded and killed within the security of our own military base by a comrade-in-uniform. Our prayers go out to all the victims of this tragedy … this consequence of war and the mind-altering effect of war's horrors.

While most of us cannot fathom those horrors, there are those among us that have experienced them first hand. One of those, WWII Navy veteran Joseph “Tony” Lewis, on Tuesday will share his remarkable story of surviving a Japanese kamikaze attack during the invasion of the Philippines in December 1944.

Then on Wednesday, each of us has the opportunity to show our patriotism and love for these veterans from all wars. Stanly County will honor them with its annual Veterans Day Parade in Downtown Albemarle, beginning at 11 a.m. from the YMCA. The parade promises to be a good one as its organizer, Gene Starnes, says he has had good community response.

Truly, it's been a tough year for all Americans. Still, while dealing with making financial-ends meet is truly challenging, it is far from coping with the horrors of war. Many of the men and women, humbly walking and riding the streets of Albemarle on Wednesday, will have experienced just that in their lifetime.

While we can never fully repay them for all their sacrifices, we can be there to show them our heartfelt appreciation, respect and love.
