Where is the sense in it all?

Can you hear me screaming?

Can you feel veterans’ pain?

Can you see the cost of their patriotism?

Can you taste the families’ tears?

Can you smell the fresh dirt that covers their graves?

A veteran commits suicide every 80 minutes.  Veterans are only one percent of the population, but they account for 20% of suicides.

Call your elected representatives.

Write letters to the editor.

Get angry.

Demand action.

Stop the madness.

Can you hear me screaming?

About Ms. C

I teach at NDSU...but I remain a student of life with all the enthusiasm that entails. My favorite saying is, "Sometimes you have to take the leap and build your wings on the way down." In the new forty that is what I am doing...building my wings.
