We're Still at War: A Memorial Day Reminder
While America remembers veterans on Memorial Day, soldiers are still on the front lines overseas.
A day to remember those who have lost their lives in service
to the United States, Memorial Day focuses on the past of the US
military. With drones fighting covert wars
and soldiers still in Afghanistan, it is important to remember that
Americans are still on the front lines. In fact, the Afghan war is
moving in on year 12 and the military is still "settling down."
Every weekday, since June 2009, Mother Jones has posted photos of the US military on the front lines, in training, or back home. From soldiers to sailors, airmen to Marines, this slideshow is a small collection of images we've posted in 2012. These photos are a reminder, as we celebrate Memorial Day, that a war is still being fought.
