Memorial Day is traditionally a time to remember those who died serving in the United States Armed Forces. In recent years, parades, moments of silence, expensive military demonstrations, and retail sales have come to define the holiday weekend. But there is a critical piece missing in this national remembering: an accounting of exactly how and why hundreds of thousands of Americans have died in military service since World War II—and why a hundred thousand more have died by suicide and overdose since 9/11 and the dawn of the Global War on Terror. Politicians and military leaders will collectively deliver hundreds of hours of prepared remarks across the country on Memorial Day, repeating a theme that has been burned into the public consciousness: honor their sacrifice. What you will not hear is an explanation for why that sacrifice is necessary—what ends are being served by the means of American lives. On this national day of selective recollection, who will speak for the dead? Written by Eric Goepel with Veterans Cannabis Coalition.

MEMORIAL DAY 2024 TRIBUTE✨💫 Our Roots of Peace Grove was established at the VETERANS HOME OF CALIFORNIA-YOUNTVILLE—the largest Veteran’s home on the United States nestled in the heart of Napa valley California. Six redwood trees stand tall, as we salute Veterans from the past six wars who died from landmines—indiscriminate ‘seeds of terror’ which do not distinguish between the colors of the flags that are flying. In tribute to Memorial Day, we honor American veterans who died while serving in the U.S. military armed forces—a tradition which began in 1868—as many American soldiers have tragically lost life and limb to landmines. Yet, few realize the world’s first widespread deployment of landmines took place during the Civil War (1860-1865). According to Dr.,Ken Rutherford, landmine survivor who wrote the Forward to my book #BreakingGround, landmines were first used during the start of the war, when the disparity in manpower, material and weaponry between the North and South was significant. The gap widened in the Union’s favor as the war progressed, forcing the Confederate war industry to innovate and improvise. As the conflict progressed, landmine warfare advanced commensurably, and both tactics and technology evolved to include innovative types of design and deployment. During the later years in the war, Confederate soldiers used both command-detonated and victim-activated landmines more frequently to defend and protect static positions, including cities. Since their origins in the American Civil War, landmines have been widely used in world wars and modern conflicts. Their prolific use continues to maim and kill innocent victims, long after the guns of war have silenced. Today, U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM/WRA), works to deliver programs and services aimed at reducing the harmful effects of at-risk, illicitly proliferated, and indiscriminately used conventional weapons of war. However, we now live in a world where there are an estimated 110 million landmines in 60 countries which maim and kill innocent children long after the guns of war have been silenced. Since The Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975 (when I was 17 years old), over 100,000 innocent Vietnamese have been maimed or killed by these explosive remnants of war. Over 30% of Ukraine is now contaminated by landmines, cluster munition and UXO—a country once known as the ‘Breadbasket of Europe.’ We bow our heads for the loss of limb and life of our own American soldiers who were victims of landmines, on this Memorial Day.
