I just could not do it. The feelings about my country border on the expatriate. I honor my brother's service in my heart. For those who lost their lives on the battlefield, I bow my head in gratitude. I do believe our government finds these souls dispensable. My brother would never believe that life in the USA has stooped so low. This is the first year I did not hang my flag-the flag that draped my own brother’s coffin-a vet who died of leukemia at age 26-on the front of my house.

I just could not do it.

The feelings about my country border on the expatriate.

I honor my brother’s service in my heart. For those who lost their lives on the battlefield, I bow my head in gratitude.

I do believe our government finds these souls dispensable.

My brother would never believe that life in the USA has stooped so low.
