Please light a candle in every home on May 19th. Don’t object to doing so. It is an act of humanity to remember those who gave up life and limb for us.<\/p>\n

REMEMBERING THOSE WHO SACRIFICED FOR OUR FREEDOM AND PEACE<\/p>\n

On May 19th marks the anniversary of our freedom from fear, loss, terror, in ushering the new PEACE we waited for over 30 years. It was not a PEACE defined by ethnicity, religion or class. It was universal peace for all people whether they lived in Sri Lanka fearing for their lives, or others who lived overseas with family and friends in Sri Lanka, constantly worrying about their safety. Terror struck not only in the War Zone but in all parts. It struck not only the men and women in uniform but all people in civilian life in the most unsuspecting places where bombs and destruction was the way a statement was made whether it was necessary or not. Disregard for human life with a level of brutality not seen except in terrorism came close to every family.<\/p>\n

WE CANNOT FORGET THE BRAVE MEN AND EVEN A FEW WOMEN IN UNIFORM WHO GAVE UP SO MUCH FOR SO MANY. The figures are 30,000 from the forces, 100,000 civilians in terrorist bombings and killings, and approx. 55,000 disabled through injuries. This counts all people cutting across ethnic and religious diversity.<\/p>\n

SOME OF THOSE READING THIS HAVE GONE TO SRI LANKA AND RAVE ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF THE PLACE TODAY. IF YOU ARE IMPRESSED, YOU HAVE A MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS AND HOW IT TURNED TO PEACE TO BECOME SOMETHING TO RAVE ABOUT.<\/p>\n

PLEASE LIGHT A CANDLE IN EVERY HOME ON MAY 19TH REGARDLESS OF WHERE IN THE WORLD YOU MAY BE, AND REMEMBER THOSE WHO PERISHED FOR US TO LIVE IN PEACE.<\/p>\n

Do not regard this as something political that you are doing for any party or any leader. This time our heroes have to be remembered for just who they were.<\/p>\n

At the same time let us remember all those in uniform THROUGHOUT THE WORLD who fight and lay down their life and limb as a part of their job. The decisions made to go forward with war is one of the most despicable human decisions that can ever be made. Ordering to kill in the name of war should never happen again. Those of us who can band together to prevent it where we have control should do so regardless of any other evil we have to fight. The evil of war is the most evil of all evils. Light a candle for the dead and the living who are suffering for all of us to enjoy the vacations we look forward to and boast about the grandeur of Sri Lanka today. Who did it??? Ask yourself when you light that candle.<\/p>\n

Please share this and let us all make a universal statement to support PEACE.
\nThank you to those who know me or don’t know me who follow my request. This is my firm belief.
