MEMORIAL DAY

Not to over state the obvious but all those at the Shock and Awesome show want to send our deepest thanks to those and their families involved with protecting the country in the U. S military. We also want to send our condolences to those families who have lost loved ones in the recent string of wars and conflicts. Too often, War is politicized on both sides from the point of view of those for action and those against it. 

We won't take the time here on this holiday to discuss administrative strategies, gameplans, and decision making that has taken place over the last ten years. We WILL remind ourselves that when each incident on the War on Terror is isolated and broken down from a point of view of national security with how much intel we had at the time,  we could all be more humble and less dogmatic with our thoughts.  Pundits and experts who like to rewrite history by taking actions out of context without acknowledging the culture of the moments in which they were born, do nothing to help truly frame the situation accurately.

With that in mind, this day HAS to be about saluting those who simply do their jobs and risk their lives for the country. Happy Memorial day to the men and women in uniform. And thank you.
