Imagine this.<\/p>\n
Dusk is falling. You\u2019re in your kitchen getting ready to put dinner on the table for your family.\u00a0 The kids are outside finishing a game of kickball on the lawn. An explosion rips through the seam that separates the calm of the minute before from the nightmare of the minute after. The children\u2019s shouts turn to screams.<\/p>\n
This terrifying scene doesn\u2019t happen here.\u00a0 But \u201cover there\u201d it happens each and every day. \u201cOver there\u201d unexploded munitions turn ordinary days into days of horror.<\/p>\n
And we are among those most responsible. Left behind by us and our endless stream of military engagements, unexploded ordnance brings death and maiming long after our presidents and generals mount the podiums or stand on the decks of aircraft carriers and proudly declare the conflicts to be over. We\u2019re quick to forget the last war and just as quick to move on to the next military misadventure. Long after the last boots have boarded American transport planes and flown home, ordinary people\u2014just like you and me\u2014 living ordinary lives in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, and Afghanistan can\u2019t find a way to move on.\u00a0 Conflicts waged on their soil never end because sudden death and injury visit them or their children or their grandchildren long after the last bombs have been dropped or the last mines have been buried.<\/p>\n
