Stand for something or you will surely fall for anything

11/5/2011

 
I've been trying to write this Wishcasting Wednesday post for a couple of hours now.  The words I 'should' say about what I wish to stand for are just not coming.  So I am left with what is and I must honor that.

I've been on military time since my husband returned which consists of a  hurry up and wait rhythm that makes mince meat of the best made plans.  And as such, I come back to an issue that is extremely irritating to me; the treatment of our (US) veterans, especially the women who once served. 

While the men aren't necessarily treated as well as they should be, something I've seen very evidently in the military medical facilities, the women are all but non existent!  

We hear stories of men who have served but where are the women stories?  How many women have joined the military with the desire to do something for their country?  How many have died serving in Iraq and Afghanistan? 

The more I think of this the more I ask myself how many other battles have been fought around the world with women doing their part?

Aren't female soldiers' stories full of the same valor, courage and honor as men?  How many stories have disappeared as women have pasted into spirit?

So today I wish to stand for women soldiers.  I pray you have the place of honor within our shared history you deserve for your service and sacrifice and I pray that your stories are shared so that my children and theirs may know that women can and do stand up to fight side by side with men in honor of their country.

To our female soldiers - they deserve our honor and recognition.

As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.

Oooh so true! Thank you for raising my awareness on this important issue today.

This is so true. Women often get overlooked and their roles to the military are just as vital.

As you wish for yourself, so I truly wish for you also.

THANK YOU for voicing and bringing attention to such an important issue!! ALL of our veterans deserve our greatest respect, honor and assistance when they return...and our female warriors, even more so, because they are already swimming an uphill battle for equal rights. (For example, I just heard that there will now be a "womans" style of combat uniform, so they don't have to wear a men's uniform. We all know our curves and such are in difference places!:)..)

As you wish for yourself I wish for you as well.

As Dionne wishes for the female soldiers, so I wish for them also.
