The National Veterans For Peace Executive Director Michael McPhearson, in discussing the current horrendous suicide rates in the military pointed out that this was due to "the culmination of years of continuous deployments and general stress the Armed Services have been put under because of an invasion and subsequent occupation that should have never happened."
"4,252 American soldiers have needlessly died and hundreds of thousands have been inflicted with physical, or mental traumas," said Sam Feldman, the Miami Veterans For Peace President. “The Arlington Miami Memorial’s purpose is to remind the public that we are still a country at war. It hasn’t ended yet.”
