Support the Mothers "I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, 'Mother, what was war?'" - Eve Merriam One might think that, despite military propaganda, we would take a break from the "support the troops" tripe - at least on Mother's Day - a day to remember the one who brought us into this world. If militarists are going to persist in claiming that soldiers need support, we should be equally adamant in reminding them of the mothers (and fathers) that children are supposed to honor. How about "Honor Mom. Don't grow up to be a soldier"?
