"we've lost our humanity our souls as a society"

thank you for the story.... all of the important men in my life were veterans. Grandfather, father, husbands.... my grandmother was a housemother for dozens of children left w/o parents from the wars.... https://vfwnationalhome.org/ I did a lot of my growing up there

yesterday talking to my partner, expressing the grief I feel for the victims and our Country, I realized that I just can't image being a veteran at this time and seeing what is happening... may we all find our humanity and souls at this time and act
