We have let peace slip through our hands by misunderstanding what peace really is.
Peace is justice because without the healing justice brings peace cannot take root in our hearts and we cannot forgive.
Peace is making sure that no one is left out because each of us matters.
Peace is living in community with others using honesty, persuasion and kindness and speaking a loud NO to deceit, coercion and violence.
As individuals we can choose to do that. The next step on that path is to stop letting government use deceit, coercion and force in our names. To do that we need to enact justice so peace can find a place in all our hearts.
Justice for our military is one step on that path. Both veterans and active military are desperately in need of simple justice. Benefits promised have been withheld to augment the profits of this administration and its cohort of greedy corporate friends.
Here is a proposal that can awaken Americans to what is happening to those who have served and suffered. Please help us make this happen for all of us.
Peace be with you.
Justice for Veterans
Veterans face growing anguish and frustration over a system positions itself as the only means available for obtaining the services and benefits promised to them as a condition of their military service. But at the same time they confront the reality that the same system views them as costs to be minimized. To those now running the military they are not individuals who are owed the benefits promised, they are the enemy.
What has happened is this.
