On this important day we remember the brave hearts who volunteered to sacrifice their precious life for their nation and humanity at large.
The cherished freedom would not be possible without the selfless dedication of the young men and women in uniform who willfully pledge their service for national and global security.
However, war should never be an option against peace and diplomacy. The simultaneous wars in different parts of the world today have claimed many innocent lives including casualties suffered by the duty bound armed forces in the battle grounds.
It has resulted in enormous pain, grief and agony for the victims’ families all around.
Besides, the economic liability from the relentless wars is exacerbating the national deficit for the U.S and the global economy.
Only if the funds were instead invested in social and economic development the terror recruitment would substantially decline allowing peace to dawn on the war torn regions.
Although many are reminiscent of the victories in the past and argue about the necessity to go to war for territorial conquest or in eliminating authoritarian rule,
They also forget that independence, civil rights and many humanitarian goals were achieved through peace and non-violence by the venerable leaders.
