I am now listening to, on TV, the words from Gold Star Parents. There is much anger and tears from each of them. They are sharing how much they loved their children. They are sharing how broken they are from losing their loved ones.

The tears fell from their faces. They couldn’t stress how angry they are with how the Afghan withdraw was conducted. It didn’t have to happen.

I feel their pain. I can’t imagine losing one of my children. It Just DIDN”T have to happen.
