Hi Guys, You may have seen on the news over the last week or so, the amazing rallys of protest that are occurring all over Burma, lead initially by the countrys monks. A military junta has ruled over Burma for the past 4 decades, notoriously and quite publically abusing the human rights of it’s own people. Most notably in the house-arrest of Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, who won a democratically formed election in 1990, but was refused ruling power by the junta. This weighs heavily on me from a personal level. Having been to the country, spoken to it’s people and seen tears well up as they spoke of their dreams to have ‘the lady’ released from arrest and parade her people. People speak politics in hushed voices. Tourism is only a very recent thing to the Burmese but we found they would carefully use every opportunity to let us know what was going on. Unfortunetly our media plays more importance on such issues as Brownlow medals so this will rarely make headline news. All I ask is that you spend a little bit of time, to understand what is happening in this country. The Burmese are a dignified people with traditional cultural values but they are at the whim of a superstitious and violent junta. Please just spend some time to try and understand what is happening in this country, if you don’t already know. There’s been some wonderful photography of Burma on this very site.

One of my dearest friends from Zazzle (thanks Penny!) sent this to me via email the other day and I thought it was more than worth sharing. Below is the address where you can send one of the many wounded US soldiers fighting in the War on Terrorism a holiday greeting card. I know to some this small gesture may seem silly, but it really is the tiny thoughtful things like this that keep our troops going. My own baby brother, who just turned 21 this past June, has already been to Afghanistan and Iraq, seen things no man should have to see, and will be sent back over for the second time only 3 days after Christmas. My family is very fortunate to be able to spend Christmas day with him and there are so many other military families who are not that lucky. It only takes a few dollars to bring a smile to one of our own so please, this year when you are writing our your holiday greetings, please include an encouraging word for one of our boys or girls fighting for our right to be able to do the things that we do everyday. Thanks everyone! :) / Shannon / A Recovering American soldier / c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center / 6900 Georgia Avenue, NW / Washington,DC 20307-500

I’m so excited, thought I would share. (Anyone in a military family will totally understand this) I just found out that they are going to hold off sending my baby brother back over seas until January. YAY He was supposed to be shipped back out right after Christmas, but now it seems as if we are granted a lil more time… .....now if only a damned miracle will happen….....

Lest We not Forget Forget Me Not / / ON this day Nov. 11 2008 Veterans Day USA, I pause to honor all those of my brethren that have fallen before me and those who will fall in the now and future for I am a warrior of this country and I pay tribute to all who have fallen in the defense of their country no matter where and no matter when for they gave the ultimate to their beloved homeland just my friends have for mine. Even though this day is set aside in this country for such a heavy hearted occasion I live each day of my life honoring all those who have and will give so much. So Salute and Full Honors to you and yours for what you have given so freely. / Native American Veteran / / By Richard RedHawk Saunders / Sgt USAF 1969 – 1971 / DAV from 1971 to present

I wanted to add something meaningful for Christmas. The attached photo is not mine. It belongs to Russell Lee Klika. I do not know Russell nor did I seek his work out. I came across his work as a favorite of another bubbler. I was struck by Russell’s work because it does not get any more real and sobering than many of his images. / I am typically finding ways to rail on the system and my images are never favorable of war. However my images are pale compared to the reality that Russell has captured by being there. He is truly brave in my eyes. As we consume ourselves into oblivion for Christmas, I just want to remind everyone that war does not stop for Christmas. There are families around the world whose lives are altered, no matter what day it is. If these wars have affected you and yours I hope you will find peace somehow. If it has not, I hope you will at least take a moment to contemplate and feel for those who have. You could start by visiting Russell’s photos… Sam Dantone

In May of 2009 all across this country of ours (USA) / Veterans groups will be doing their Forget-me-not street corner and parking lot giveaway of Forget-me-not flower, to remember all those Military Veterans both Men and Women who have served their country and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice their Life so that their fellow friends and family could be a free person, and for those still serving. So when you see a Veteran at your Wal Mart or on a street corner giving away the Forget-me-not reach in your pocket and give something back to help them provide help to other veterans in need of medical or mental help or something so simple that we take for granted a place to sleep that is out of the cold and rain, and tell them THANK you. There are a whole lot of artist on RedBubble who have created art dedicated to the memory of fallen friends and loved ones or just to say thanks to those who have served in the Military, so take a look and tell your favorite artist thanks for their contribution of remembering those who have served. So next time you see a veteran say thank you for being there for your country and I would be Honored to call you a friend. I would like to say here THANK you to all of my friends that served and still remember those who never came back, and say a heart felt THANK YOU to all of you who are still serving, we are all family, THANKS We all need to heal from something related to service and duty to your fellow HUMAN, as simple a phrase as it is Thank you can do such a gigantic task as to heal emotional wounds of war and conflict, and hatred. Richard RedHawk Saunders / Sgt USAF 1969-1976 / Life Member Disabled American Veterans I have created several works but I will not link to them here because it is all about those who have served and need your words of kindness.

I am so excited to let you all know that the image I posted a few days ago titled “Two Deployed” has been not only chosen to be Featured but also chosen as the Avatar for the month of July by the wonderful group, Brick, Blocks, Tiles and Mosaic Mania In times of war, families who have someone deployed place a flag with a star in their window in that person’s honor. This is my sister’s creation to honor a son and nephew. May God keep our troops safe!

I was just wanted to send out a quick thank you to all of the fellow Veterans out there, no matter which branch of service, or which nation they served/are serving for. Thank you so much for the continued sacrifices you and your families have to endure. Please be sure to thank a fellow veteran today – they really do deserve it! My visual tribute to all Veterans: THANK YOU !!!

I am at work and part of me has such a difficult time with the idea of war. Both my mother and father were Marines in WW2. and I had utmost respect for their service. Neither my brother nor I had any inclination to join a military service. / . / Part of me begs that I get into the frey and push against this machine that indeed employs so many Americans from service itself to the making of the war machines. My fear runs like this. If they ever really got a cure for cancer absolutely, what would happen to all the jobs that are involved in ‘fighting cancer’ like we are talking millions of jobs throughout the world. That is my fear side. / . / War seems to be a part of our contrast and where we are now in our evolution. I do honor those who are in the military as I do believe they are following their hearts. Many believe that we are at deep risk and they are doing something about this by joining the military. I know that WW2 for me is a perfect example of what seemed to be the ‘only solution’ at the time to resolve a horrible world situation. / . / My hope was when I caste my vote for Obama that we would be well on our way out of Iraq and that there would be a ‘plan’ in Afghanistan to provide housing and prosperity as my Afgan friends here in San Francisco say that is what they desire for their families at home. Do you know that since the Russians invaded Afghanistan in December 24, 1979 to this time 2009 there have been over 2 million deaths of the Afgan people? Not to mention all the one legged men and women suffer from all the land mines. A wonderful statement by author from America how many of those are suffering from this atrocity? According to the United Nations, 10 million landmines litter the Afghan countryside, the lingering effects of a prolonged civil war and occupation by Soviet troops and A new report reveals that 750,000 civilian males have been victimized by landmines in Afghanistan this is close to a million people and this does not include the females and children that are bringing this stat close to a million or more. top that with 2 million dead. / The war they never talk about in Afghanistan is the poppy war…heroin. And as we found out in Vietnam, so much money is involved in the drug trade we can’t take out the factor that money, big money can buy off some of the nicest and well meaning people. / . / I honor the fallen in our country. If we did not have a strong military in this belief system we may not fair well. On the other hand a part of me feels guilty that I am not out in the streets of America saying, we have hunger and we have a broken infrastructure ie. education, health, and well being here in America. Please send our troops home and lets educate our people so we can learn how to believe in Peace by finding PEACE AT HOME. Gandhi Ji said it best: You must be the change you want to see in the world. Yes he did fight it seems a ‘good fight’ but his war that created the most profound change was the war of how he perceived his world at large. He constantly went deep into meditation and he made mistakes sure. But his love for his people and his belief that other nations did not belong in his country won a small victory. The English Left. We Need to Go. I feel if we have a strong military at home and a prosperous nation, others will be drawn once again to asking for our help when the time of their own efforts cannot sustain. We then go a welcome relief to nations that are WILLING to be lead by a great people who are humbled upon entering countries that do not sustain our wonderous health standards, wealth and well being. / . / I Honor this day for all who have fallen in service of our country. I also honor all those people who have lost loved ones in countries my country is occupying. / . / Linaji 2009
