Memorial Day offers another opportunity to remember more than 81,000 Americans still missing in action from US wars/conflicts (WWII through the Gulf wars). With little media care or attention, the high MIA count surprises many people with realization that each individual in that total had a personal life with hopes, plans and dreams. Yet, each one left the comfort of home, neighborhood and loved ones to defend our homeland and shared values at great personal sacrifice. As I can personally attest, POW/MIA torment runs deep, touches many, and never goes away. Demographic research and basic practical assumptions allow us to reasonably grant that approximately 1.4 million additional people (family/friends) of those 81,000 MIAs have suffered or continue to suffer personal anguish, anxiety, uncertainty, and great pain unknowing the fate.  Honoring a foundational US military value that we leave no American behind, there are focused organizations working every day to locate, identify and recover our MIAs. Two of those groups: Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency https://lnkd.in/gVzAc8JA, and, ‘Project Recover’  https://lnkd.in/gQiBF3G7

Simple .. yet so powerful. Remembering all who have served and sacrificed for our nation, our freedom, and liberty 🇺🇸 https://lnkd.in/e-HjdXW2

For people across America, our flag is a reminder of our Nation’s founding principle. It stands for the sacred idea that we are all created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives. Our flag is also a reminder of our shared calling: to stand for the ideals our country was founded on — democracy, freedom, and justice for all. On Flag Day and during National Flag Week, we take pride in the promise and purpose represented by our Nation’s flag. Our country’s flag was created in 1777, when America was still a new idea. Americans flew it at their homes during the Revolutionary War as brave troops fought for our country’s independence from British rule — representing the resolve and resilience of our Nation’s 13 colonies with 13 stripes and stars. As our Nation evolved, so too did our flag — with every new star added to Old Glory, we were reminded that the work of forging a more perfect Union never ends.

THIS IS LAST HOPE FOR GAZA In the name of humanity to whosoever this post reaches should sent this post to P.M. and President of his country and also to news papers and TV's. After thorough analysis I realised that there are two basic and fundamental structural defects in the constitution of UN which are 1. Veto Power System for the permanent members of the security council of UN. Since there is a body of all stakeholders in the form of General Assembly wherein all member- countries of the UN are represented there is absolutely no need of Security Council to accept or reject the resolutions passed by General Assembly. As such Security Council should be dissolved forthwith. 2. All member countries of UN are not signatory to the Rome statute consequently some countries are not under the International Criminal Court (ICC) whereas all the member countries have to be under the jurisdiction of ICC so that peace prevails in the world. . Due to these defects America has made a mockery of the UN as it is reduced to a puppet in the hands of the America. Consequently America with some allies have invaded several Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and looted these countries then leaving these countries after the loot is complete. Presently America with the help of Israel (both countries are not under the jurisdiction of ICC) is demolishing, cold blooded mass murders, devastation, destruction , displacement, ethenic cleansing, murder especially of children and women and genocide and the whole world including the UN have to be mute spectators of all this and nobody has the powers to question them because of these defects in the constitution of UN. More than seven decades have passed by but the above-mentioned defects in the constitution of UN were not rectified. Non-rectification of these defects has created a very grave situation as instead of peace maintaining organisation UN became a weapon of blackmailing and means of invading and looting the rich countries by some countries which were having the veto power also besides these countries were not signatory to the Rome statute consequently these countries were not under the jurisdiction of ICC. As the result these countries became law per se and virtually became terrorist countries of the world because they were not answerable to any forum for whatever they do. They invaded and looted several countries so much so they created terrorist groups also. Now the climax of lawlessness has reached in Palestine where total devastation, destruction, cold blooded mass murders, genocide, ethenic cleansing, kidnapping and rape of innocent and unarmed civilians is being done and the whole world including UN have to be mute spectators because of the basic and fundamental defects in the constitution of UN have not been rectified. This is the highest time these defects are rectified by the General Assembly. Let General Assembly wake up after decades of slumber and rectify the defects as proposed above.

The world only respects the powerful, mighty, and powerfulness. Humanity and human rights are the weapons of the weak. Is this true? History tells us that (1) truth/right is stronger than military force and might, (2) falsehood leads to loss, and (3) time is an important element in achieving rights. Therefore, those who rely on power might consider and know that power does not last forever. Those who are right and have the right stand must be patient and consistently fight until their rights are achieved. Using the veto at the UN Security Council will lead to these countries using it losing their morals, democracy, and principles, and will not affect achieving the rights of people, nations, and countries and its realization.

79 years ago, the horrors and untold suffering visited upon humankind by the Second World War finally ended, unveiling a world forever transformed by a profound sense of loss, yet unparalleled triumph and courage to rebuild and to move forward in hope. Today, we honor the sacrifices of the millions who perished and celebrate the valor of those who gallantly fought for peace. Full video: https://lnkd.in/ecJC2CJZ

The closest many will get to understanding the carnage and sacrifice of the D-Day Landings 80 years ago today will be through watching films like Saving Private Ryan or visiting museums. Over 4000 allied forces lost their lives on 6 June 1944 to help defeat the Nazi ideology 80 years ago, so that today we can enjoy the freedoms we have, and too often take for granted. It is our duty to protect the freedoms we have and never forget those that laid down their lives in 1944 and throughout two World Wars. It is duty too to also educate our children and future generations to commemorate days like today. Find articles like the one below with facts about D-Day they can read to understand the sacrifices. But most of all we must also say never again to global wars and to dictators no matter what flag they fly and their cause https://lnkd.in/du6ZjQWv #dday80 #neverforget #sacrifice #operationoverlord #educate #neveragain
