A while back, I read a blurb by a psychologist who discouraged people from spreading pictures of poppies and veteran support through social media because while it didn’t do anything to actually ‘support’ veterans, it did make veterans uncomfortable, forcing them to relive memories they would rather forget. I’ve had that rattling around in my head for a bit. I won’t argue with her, she works with many veterans and specializes in PTSD and OSI and many of those she sees feel the way she has stated.  She is obviously far more qualified than I am to make any statement about this. Let’s face it, your facebook sharing doesn’t actually support anyone, no matter what the cause.  Sharing 50 pictures of soldiers on one knee next to a cross will not actually support a single soldier needing help.  Not one.  Not any more than your pink ribbon pictures help anyone with Breast Cancer or your Giraffe profile picture is doing….. anything but offering amusement. Seriously, the eyes/door debate is being taken a liiiiitle too seriously by some of you…. Anyways, I see the point clearly that your yellow ribbon posts and ‘support our troops’ facebook stickers and ‘share if you love our soldiers’ sharing is not doing anything to help support our veterans who are lost, hurting or injured either physically or emotionally.  Donating to charities like Soldier On or the Wounded Warrior Project is a good start if that’s what you were trying to do. We can all admit that we know deep down that social media sharing does nothing, long run, in tangibly helping anyone.  So this, this is my opinion…
