Kiss your children goodbye, now. They are being prepared to die in wars.

When we started our two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ten plus years ago, the young men and women, who are serving now were only 7 or 8 years old. When their parents tucked them in bed at night do you think they were thinking about the future soldiers that lay safely in their beds?  When you tuck your child in bed tonight I want you to think of the thousands of American parents who no longer can kiss their children on the head and whisper, "I love you", because they were taken in action on a battlefield far from home and the security of their bed. Usually as a soldier lay dying, they are thinking of their families and even call out, in vain, for them. Think of how much the parents, would have given up,  to be there to comfort their child to hold their heads in their hands, to kiss their foreheads one last time, as they took their last breath on that dirt covered road. They will never have that chance. You may never have that chance. That small child that you love so deeply is going to be the next child, in a ditch so far away from home because, YOU, did not care enough to stand up and stop the wars. You did not feel it would affect you. Wars, happen and there are times that we have to stand for something bigger and more enduring then ourselves. This is not the time. Today show your children that you love them above all else. Send this to everyone you know and implore them to send it on to everyone they know. We have to pressure our leaders to stop the wars and stop getting involved in more wars. We have to look at our children and decide that they will not join the growing list of children dieing alone, without us. Think of yourself standing at your door as a millitary officer hands you that letter that starts, "We regret to inform you". Millions of parents around our country have recieved this letter. I don't want you, or me to be the next.
