HONOR ROLL!
WELCOME! We are happy that you, our guest,
have come this far into our site. We hope that
you aren't having any trouble with the construction.
If you did...please...take a moment and let us know, we'd greatly
appreciate it.
If this is your first visit
to this section, we hope you find it interesting
and thought provoking. If you have been here before, we hope
you like the changes as we are very excited by them.
Now...be honest! When you hear
the words: "Honor Roll", do you think of anything
more than a 'list' of names? Well, the "People",
whose names are listed on MAMMA's Honor Roll, were very real
and very "Special"! (Can you think of another word
that better describes men and women, who were willing
to GIVE their all, in serving our country and protecting
us and instead were sent home in a bag...STRIPPED of even
their basic dignity?)
If you know of anyone who should
be included on this Honor Roll...have them contact
MAMMA and we'll make arrangements
We want this section of our
site to Honor the memory of 'a growing number of
these 'Special People' and to Salute their families! Therefore,
we have devided the section into three parts: the Honor
Roll, the Honor Roll Situations and the Honor Roll
Gallery.
Currently, you are in the part
of this section that's labeled the Honor Roll.
Following a "brief" (a term that is open to interpretation
around here *smile*) introduction, you will find the
traditional, though definitely incomplete, Honor Roll *list*
of names of some very fine men and women whose lives
were cut short while serving in our military. The Addendum,
at the bottom of the list, is very special. MAMMA takes
great pride in adding the names of these 'Special' men
and women because their deaths are being questioned by their comrades
in arms, rather than by a family member, who, by "official"
accounts, is "just in denial". Following that "list",
you will find a second list that is labeled, "Honorable Mention".
The 'Honorable Mention' list is a listing of 77 names of
active duty service members, who were shipped home in bodybags
from Okinawa, Japan in a seven year time span that started
in 1992. Three of those names are also listed on our Honor
Roll and if you recognize any of the other names and have
reason to believe that they belong on the Honor Roll...please
contact us and let us know.
On the Navigational Bar, at the left of this
page, are the 'links' for the individual "Situations"
pages. These will take you to the Honor Roll Situations
part of this section where you'll find highlights of
some of the questionable situations that surround the
deaths of our Honor Roll members. After reading a few,
you will quickly realize that highlighting these situations
takes time. Currently, only the names with a * in front of
them on the Honor Roll are available for review. As
every one of our Honor Roll members is worth the effort
of highlighting their situation...this section will
be SLOW to develop. We hope you'll come back often and
DO let others know about this 'Special' Honor Roll!
Also on the Navigational Bar,
is the label: "Gallery". This will take you to
a BEAUTIFUL site that was set up by a lovely and talented
lady named, Patti. MAMMA has, for a long time, wanted
to put a FACE to the waste that has come from so many lives being
cut short. Thanks to Patti...you can now see pictures of the
REAL PEOPLE that we are so proud to Honor. If there is a
+ sign by a name in the Situation part, there is a picture
of that person in the Honor Roll Gallery. This part too,
will be slow in developing...come back often and Praise
the Lord, if the newest picture added isn't someone you know.
There are numerous problems that stem
from 'manner of death' rulings that are questionable
and being disputed by family members of the deceased.
For whatever reason, when the terms; "Questionable" and ìdisputed"
are used in the same sentence as 'manner of death' ruling,
the word "Murder" is soon to follow. That type of distortion
and misconception can be difficult to sort through
and like everything else, when it concerns the military,
such a difficulty is magnified.
When a military family is notified
that their loved one has died, dazed...they
are walked through a maze of 'procedures (AKA red tape).
There is a flurry of activity in paying attention to every
little detail involved with a funeral and a burial,
but as soon as the body is in the ground...every one
just disappears and the family is like: "WHAT HAPPENED?"
The response...."You'll get a report."
Every grieving family has the
right to know exactly what caused the death of
their loved one. When the "report" comes, if it reads
like a 'STORY' that would rival a 'Fairy Tale', or is full
of blatant lies...you'd best be believing that the family
will 'dispute' that ruling! Alarmingly, the number of
such disputes is growing!
Does that mean that every family
starts thinking their loved one was murdered?
Definitely NOT! Fatal accidents DO happen. Depressed people
DO commit suicide. So why would anyone dispute a death
that has been ruled as an 'accident'? Some of these rulings
are disputed by the family because there is reason to
believe that the accident was preventable...in addition to
accountability for their loved one, these families are
demanding that steps be taken to insure that such 'accidents' never
take another life!
Question: Have you ever had the feeling
that you'd been hit by a truck and wondered if
anyone had managed to get the vehicle's plate number?
Well...in this section of our
site, you will be introduced...figuratively speaking...to
families that have literally been run down! With a courage
and fortitude, many hadn't realized they possessed and wracked
with pain, they managed to reach out and yank the plate
off the hit and run vehicle as it fled the scene. Amazingly,
every one of these Government Issued Plates bore the
'vanity' name: MILITARY!
As you visit MAMMA's Honor
Roll pages.....it would be a good thing if you'd
take a moment and reflect on the 'simplicity' of this entire
issue. As with any issue, this one has two sides:
On one side....there is a growing
number of patriotic families, much like your own,
who having suffered through the death of a loved one
and want to get on with their lives. They can not move on
if this 'chapter' of their life isn't honestly resolved.
Thus, they expect, and quite frankly deserve, a true accounting
of and appropriate resolution of the circumstances
involved with their loved one's death.
On the other side....there
is the military, in conjunction with the Department
of Defense (DoD). Are you familiar with the concept of
the 'downside' of organizations that are SELF-regulating?
Simply put...such organizations never do anything that
is wrong or would require accountability - just ask
them! Or put another way...it's like putting the fox in
charge of the hen house!
Should any of our visitors
find themselves asking if there isn't some middle
ground and have any ideas for getting an independent Senatorial
commission started....we would love to hear from you!
