My brother fought in the Vietnam War. Although he did not lose his life there, he lost it later on due to the affects of the war.Just Be Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815210059310140144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638257259742449586.post-89698417379935875882009-04-26T00:01:00.000+10:002009-04-26T00:01:00.000+10:00I feel the same Amber.

I'm glad that it's still commemorated in such a big way in Australia.Marion McCreadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657757253873577465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638257259742449586.post-46346275257461307182009-04-25T19:42:00.000+10:002009-04-25T19:42:00.000+10:00Amber, may the Lord provide housing--and may he pr...Amber, may the Lord provide housing--and may he provide you with wisdom in the situation. <br /><br />As for the conflict between wanting to honor the soldiers and wanting to avoid war, I can identify with it. My grandfather came to the USA partly to avoid the Russian Czar's military draft. My older brother was drafted and served in Vietnam as an unarmed medic, unwilling to carry a weapon. When I was 18 and was required to register for the draft, I registered as a conscientious objector to war. <br /><br />Meanwhile, my father was a military chaplain during WWII. My father-in-law and some of my uncles were in the military. I know various young men from my church who have recently been in the US military. One went to Iraq this week, in reconnaisance for the Marines. <br /><br />At this moment, I'm not required to know all of what's best. I can honor those who for reasons of conscience choose not to bear arms, and I can honor those who strive to serve in the military with honor.Jim Swindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632113399696237695noreply@blogger.com
