Viet Nam Peace Day 2025 is on Monday, January 27, 2025: where are the warriors of peace?

Monday, January 27, 2025 is Viet Nam Peace Day 2025. World Peace Day All around the world people are standing up for peace. Join them!

The warriors of peace had been gone. The present day citizens tend to tolerate the government acts of invasion of countries hoping that terrorism will be prevented.

do you remember the Viet Nam War era?

I lived through it though I was rather young and didn't pay much attention to the beginning parts. I was just young enough to miss the draft. That was the big problem that so many had with it. There was a very valid and popular peace movement. Many people went to Canada to escape the draft.

The problem was that there was an even much bigger threat from the Soviet Union that was more belligerent through those times and the American people didn't want to see them expand influence. The Vietnamese were caught in the middle. I remember hearing the number of people killed every day in the news. It was a no win since we weren't willing to attack China or mainly Russia for instigating it. In most ways the country was behind the war except for the peace movement. That peace movement wasn't used by politicians much even though most did want to see the war ended one way or another. I remember the trial of Lt. Kelly who was responsible for a massacre. That was really painful to watch. It added urgency to the need to settle the matter.

Judgement Day?

I admire your honesty. God judges as we judge ourselves. If in your heart you have a clear conscious, then there is nothing to forgive. Most of us do what we have to do to survive. There is no shame in that. Be at peace with yourself.
