USA: día del veterano

Lo dice hoy Babalú:

"No other country in the history of the modern world has so honorably offered their sons and daughters for freedom like the United States of America. Today, Veterans Day, please say a prayer for those who have sacrificed not only in service to their country but to provide and guard your liberties. Thank your veterans, both young and old, who served in the Great War, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, both Iraq wars and every battle, war, and skirmish before and in between and in the present for their courage, their nobility, their youth and their sacrifice."

Y yo lo suscribo, no sin recordar que parte de la actual instrascendencia de la Argentina tiene que ver con la vergonzosa tradición nacional de mirar para otra parte cuando la libertad y la democracia requirieron de un aporte más allá de lo discursivo.

A todos los citizen soldiers que hoy celebran su día, mis respetos. Y a los caídos, no una plegaria pero sí mi homenaje y mi memoria.
