My friend Deb who does mornings at KMOX in StL says MO has a PSA running that starts "they don't like to be called heroes, but what else can you call a person who puts on the uniform of their nation" and she says she yells "VETERANS" at the speakers every time.Tim Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457723301178870851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573188106264061392.post-17221757525076182152013-04-08T07:00:54.787-05:002013-04-08T07:00:54.787-05:00Yup.Yup.Tim Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457723301178870851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573188106264061392.post-88264319427567436512013-04-08T06:51:26.959-05:002013-04-08T06:51:26.959-05:00Thank you for saying something I have been thinkin...Thank you for saying something I have been thinking for a long while. This business of calling every returning soldier a "hero" has grated on me since it began a decade ago. I suspect it's a hangover of Vietnam Syndrome--the fear that we won't give proper respect to those who serve. <br /><br />I have heard another usage recently that should also be strangled in its crib: calling returning soldiers "warriors." "Veteran" has been sufficiently honorable for 100 years. Everything else is just marketing.jbhttp://jabartlett.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573188106264061392.post-51212241878612362202013-04-08T06:25:32.395-05:002013-04-08T06:25:32.395-05:00Dad 29 beat me to the punch.

I say to you, I certainly get annoyed <br />even as folks think about concerns that they plainly <br />don't recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and also defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more.
