As friends and family gather together to ask the Lord's blessings on rushed buying and exchanging, during multi-cultural Season's Greetings for holidays intersecting in monetary nod to peace on earth detour, remember those gifts stolen by man's inhumanity to twenty elementary school sons and daughters and their six self-sacrificing guardian teachers.

Whether CIA agent or submarine shower spy, self-serving foot dragging politician or activists calling to action; Wall Street greed or Main Street need, we must honor what is honorable, and purge, cleanse and purify ourselves by holding the dishonorable accountable.
Whether battlefield military or ballot box civilian, we mustn't link to WWII excuse, We Didn't Know, for lying to ourselves, we collaborate with traitors betraying our national soul.
