Nice to see you, @esteemapp, thanks for keeping an eye on me. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

This is a really nice comment, @arthur-grafo8–thank you!

Humans, myself included, are quick to judge. Speaking on my own behalf only, I wish I was just as quick to see the good in people as I am the bad. On that note, however, when I saw this memorial site, I wasn’t quick to judge anyone and just felt like sharing what we discovered having no intention of releasing a Steemit article. We actually saw a lot of cool things yesterday and I didn’t take any pictures at all until stumbling across this memorial.

I tried writing it without pointing fingers and rather just stating facts of actual events, I hope it came across that way. About the students back home, if they only knew the message they’re sending, they’re eating out of the hand of media fed negativity when they should just appreciate what they have with an understanding it isn’t the people who create problems, it’s the people in power. I’m probably just being a naturally judgy human by writing this, though, so I should probably stop now.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you kindly for the nice compliment.

Thanks for having me, @steemitworldmap. I enjoy this platform you’ve built. See you on the next one.

How’s it goin @tarazkp? Thanks for checking this one out. It’s a spot we didn’t know existed until arriving there, I’m glad we found it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, sir.

Man! Just as your articles, sir, this was a well written response. I wanted to leave you a quick reply because my wife is rushing me out the door to enjoy a cup of coffee on our last day here but know that I’ll be back.

Thank you for this comment, @galenkp, God bless you and Faith. I’ll return later this afternoon with a more deserving response.

I’m back, just like that, not so much a flash but back is back as a matter of fact. Nah.. I didn’t notice your rhyme at all.

Quickly, are the French as rude as Italians? Dang, @galenkp, the people around here are pretty bad, they can’t even walk cordially, it’s pretty bad. I never knew a culture where children and old ladies think it’s customary to shoulder check you on the sidewalk. To be more specific—“underwhelming.” Thank you @tarazkp for calling this dude over here, I love these kind of responses. Since I got you, thanks again for the curation, sir!

I first used “depressing” as we exited the memorial, it was my wife who switched it to somber or, sombre, depending where you’re geographically located. Thank you for describing your experience, I read it as though I was right there. About repeated mistakes, man, I often find myself wondering when Jesus is going to come fix this mess. Depressing,somberly, emotional, all of them work. When a memorial plot is a “thank you,” as beautifully kept as they are, I believe there’s something seriously wrong with that picture.

I was just saying to someone else who had no issues calling the US a terrorist that theres a dude named Rothschild running their country too. I was just trying to share this memorial experience without pointing fingers—I hope I achieved that. I’m a true believer in it’s not the people that are the issue, it’s the people in power. Hopefully I’m not wrong in believing if more people pointed their finger at the reflection in the ATM screen each time they do a cash withdrawal and less time pointing it at the TV screen, maybe an article regarding a memorial in celebration for 7,858 oxygen breathing human beings would’ve never been written.

Nah.. that memorial didn’t get me emotional at all, @galenkp, can you tell?

Thanks a lot for your support, sir, and thanks for drawing out this winded response. Have a great week, don’t be a stranger.

Safe and sound in England, @galenkp. I just read your responses again. For the record, feel free to do that any time cuz they sure are a fresh way to wake up! Thanks once again for your support. You, too, @tarazkp, I’m glad I caught both of your attention with this one. Does the “kp” part mean ya’all are related? 🤔

See you guys soon. Enjoy the rest of your week fellas.

Hey how’s it goin, @avare? Thanks for checking this one out, I appreciate it and thank you even more for your sincerity.

We weren’t expecting to find this memorial, I love it when things work out the way they’re supposed to. Thank you for the Resteem, your support means a lot, I’ll see you on the next one.

I appreciate the support, @travelfeed. Thanks for the clarification, I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right.

Thank you @eii. You’ve always supported what I’m doing around here, it means a lot. Have a great week.

@eii. I just saw on steemworld you mentioned me on BernieSanders next generation article, wow! Believe it or not, and this should be tough to believe, 😉 I’m at a loss for words. With so many quality content producers, I’m proud to be at the top of your list. Thank you so much for the mention, happy Friday to you and yours. More articles to come, it’s my pleasure sharing my content with you. It’s an honor to be regarded by you.

Yeah, they come and go, esteem has hooked me up twice in a row now. Right place at the right time I guess.

US and world domination—I’m sure nobody wants to read this but every country with a Rothschild bank on their territory is the terrorist. Everyone who points their finger at the TV should maybe consider pointing it at the ATM screen next time they do a cash withdrawal.

Anyone who believes the American people are responsible for Cambridge Analytica is watching the wrong screen. And anyone who believes America is the only country with a Rothschild ATM hasn’t been paying attention to their own financial institution.

There I go again.. saying what I think. Thank you, @trincowski, for saying what you think. And thanks for your continued support man, have a great week. Don’t be a stranger.

I really appreciate your support, @c-squared, THANK YOU bigger than that. Have a great week you guys.

My pleasure, @angryman. We didn’t expect to find that memorial, I’m glad we did. It’s very well kept and I couldn’t think of a better title.

There’s another memorial just down the road in Anzio built in dedication to fallen European and British soldiers, it’s nice to see they actually recognize they wouldn’t be where they are today without their allied help.

Gee, 30k SP and you voted with 1%, “thanks.”

Draft lottery (1969)
On December 1, 1969 the Selective Service System of the United States conducted two lotteries to determine the order of call to military service in the Vietnam War for men born from January 1, 1944 to December 31, 1950. These lotteries occurred during a period of conscription in the United States that lasted from 1947 to 1973. It was the first time a lottery system had been used to select men for military service since 1942.

Dude! I got the chills twice reading this. I don’t know if you’re interested or not, but I think an article type response to @dandays with this type of information would give an entire platform chills. Thank you for being so detailed. I think it would also cause a lot of people to think and I doubt I’d be the only one responding. Man, what a head of knowledge you walk around with.

Brother Sweed, my uncle, he was my mother’s oldest brother was drafted to Vietnam. I didn’t know the why’s and how’s until now but I knew my uncle—RIP Uncle Paul. They told me he was never the same when he got back. The uncle I knew was in a lot of trouble man, a lot! King pin in the Hells Angels, slung a lot of illegal substances, that type of trouble. The last stint he did was a 9 year sentence and then his hay days finally caught up to him about 5 years ago. My point is, I was told he was quiet, to himself, and really smart before that war. God bless him and those 58,000 names—10x more than I saw and the ones I saw were unfathomable.

Man, I didn’t even say thanks for reading this article—“thank you.” Neither of us expected to find that memorial, either. It just ‘showed up.’ I didn’t plan on writing anything based on our trip that day, I’ve been doing that lately, I didn’t take one picture of anything else all day long, but I couldn’t help it once we found that memorial. God bless your buddy—tragic.

It wasn’t until you explained your reasoning for required enlistment when I wrote about Qusay that I thought about it. Although I would be opposed to it if the circumstances consisted of fighting against your own people, I’ve since changed my opinion to agree with yours. As far as foreign turf, throwing yourself on the front lines in the name of 1%, I think a required enlistment is a good idea.

Thank you for this response, sir. And thank you for appreciating the way I put it together, one thing I hope i didn’t paint was blame. I’ll never discredit the people as i am fully aware it’s the people in power responsible for these things. I hope you’re having a great week, Bob, we’ll talk again soon.

This was an incredible piece of real, legitimate history from someone who lived it. Thanks for sharing! A close friend of mine I worked with also served in Vietnam, Bob was his name. He obviously made it out of the war but his wife, who also worked with us, had said Bob vehemently refused to talk about the war with anybody, his daughter or his wife. It was an incredibly damaging mark on society and the people who served in it. I think that's another part of why they don't institute the draft, that would mean more people who otherwise are not cut out for that type of stuff, would have memories and share information about how awful and wrong war is. It serves its purpose but aside from situations like world war 2, they are largely for the wrong reasons.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friends, that's an awful thing to go through.

War. It’s terrible. Millions of humans willing to slay each other for no agenda of their own. Man, if only we were more like John Lennon.

Thank you for checking this one out, @farm-mom, I appreciate all of the support you’ve shown me, both you and Sweed have been motivational ever since your arrival.

“Somber.” That wOrd was Pura’s idea—she nailed it.

My pleasure, @anonymity5! Thank you even more for following along and appreciating these articles I’ve been releasing. It’s what keeps me going.

Oh thank you so much! I sure do appreciate the kind words and I’m glad we found it too. Pura will attest, I had zero intention of putting an article together that day, I didn’t even have my phone in my pocket—it was in the backpack and I didn’t take any pictures of anything. Then we stumbled across that memorial—I couldn’t help it.

I hope I did the fallen soldiers justice without seeming judgmental toward the obvious nature of World War II, I like to think ya’all understand I don’t believe it’s the people who are the issue, it’s the people with power who are the issue.

Thank you for reading this one, sir, I’m really glad you appreciated the way I put this one together. Happy Sunday from England, @janton. When we left the memorial, I actually used the wOrd “sobering” because I didn’t anticipate feeling the emotion I felt that day as we exited. It was really sobering. I asked Pura “if you could describe what we just saw in one wOrd, what would it be?” She said “somber.”

Perfect!! That’s exactly what it was man, a Somber Day.

Take your time. Thanks for coming over here to find this. Somber Day, can't believe I forgot that title. Weird... I kinda get all emotional feeling just being here.
