This Wednesday is our Nationwide Day of Remembrance of the 9-11 incidents. Please consider making a couple of signs and display them on a street corner to remind the sleepy communities we live in:
*Revenge does not heal grief
*The Trillions of taxpayer dollars spent on revenge wars
*nearly 7,000 U.S. casualties from revenge wars
*The freedoms we gave up for Surveillance State safety in the Patriot Act
*nearly 1 million Afghanistan/Iraq War Veterans have filed disability claims with the VA
*The 20 Million refugees displaced by our wars, and WE DENY THEM ENTRY TO OUR COUNTRY
*1,500 US Military Amputees from our revenge wars
*an estimated 138,000 US Military suffer from PTSD
*over 200,000 civilians killed during our revenge wars
*15 of the 19 attackers were from Saudi Arabia-(still an ally)
*20 Veterans a day commit suicide
*We've spent over $5 Trillion on defense and Homeland Security since 9-11
*We are still over there.
