52 Ancestors - Week 17 - War

52 Ancestors – WEEK 17 – War

By Cynthia Keefer Patton

I can't talk about war. I hate war. War causes pain and suffering. War has long-term effects on families.

War makes no sense to me. I was proud to serve in the Army. My father, my husband, and my brother were all proud to serve their country. I know we need a strong military to protect our freedoms and way of life. 

But I can't glorify war. I can't understand war. My heart aches for those currently in war zones.
