That statement is so over-simplifed, incorrect and so utterly wrong on so many levels that it's not worthy of further discussion.

But welcome back on here.

this sentiment is better phrased, I think: it's found on the thread about thanking a U.S. military person, seen elsewhere and a memorial statement:

Life is a blessing and often taken for granted. An extra blessing was given us in freedoms granted by service men and women who've served and laid down their own lives.


America is beautiful because of the fallen.


It remains so because of our present soldiers.


Never forget – then or now.
