Thank you for sharing such a powerful and honest story. I deeply respect your friend’s bravery in speaking out against the Vietnam War and his anti-war activism, which exposes the devastating human cost of imperialist wars.

Memorial Day should remind us not to glorify these wars or those who carry out imperialist violence. Instead, it must be a time to critically confront the lies, greed, and exploitation that drive such conflicts, and to stand against the systems that continue to send people to die for unjust causes.

True solidarity means fighting for a world where no one is sacrificed for empire or war profiteering.
