In the past I listened to a veteran
of war in the Mideast describe ghastly things I thought never got talked
about. I was moved to action and spent
time volunteering for an organization that helps disabled veterans. I didn’t protest foreign policy enough,
although I did vote partly based on that political platform plank.
Two friends are violently gone from domestic violence this
week. I was unaware of this issue in
their lives and am shocked at the abrupt, awful end of their relationship. Rep. Mark Green has said, “If the numbers we
see in domestic violence were applied to terrorism or gang violence, the entire
country would be up in arms and it would be the lead story on the news every night.”
I’m searching for a way to help others before another murder
suicide reaps lives. Are there
suggestions for me and those like me?
