Click the header for the classic poem on Veterans' Day.
.
The picture here shows part of a 100 combine assault on a wheat field. And what has that to do with Vet's Day? Well, the men and women who have served in our wars came home with a knowledge that Machiavellian attitudes were much too ugly and vicious and gory to be applied in our civilian lives.
They learned that making a combined effort to solve the logistics would carry the day. The people building the machines, those sending the machines to the field, those gathering the fuel and so on, had to work as one with those actually doing the dirty work. It would need everyone working toward one thing to make it come together for victory of any kind.
.
Now, more than ever before, we need to find common ground and work together.
