On Veterans Day, 2007 here is a little Phil Ochs - "I ain't marchin' anymore." On Veterans Day we glorify war and honor those who died for our freedom, but we never say let us stop the madness and stop the war. Why? I honor all those who gave their lives, limbs and bodies for American. Let us renew, however the cause of liberty not just the cause or war. Also, daily kos has a piece called the visual veteran, on Veterans Day we go to the tomb of the unknown soldier and every war memorial for a memorial of the veterans. But, what about those veterans who come home and can no longer make it in the "American Dream." How do we honor them? More than 25 percent of the homeless population in the U.S. are homeless veterans, though they represent 11 percent of the civilian population.Phil Ochs - "I ain't Marching Anymore"
