| Lest we forget on this coming Veterans Day, those who went before us. I offer my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to those who fought and continue to fight for the good of others. God bless our brave men and women, our drones, past, present and future.
From ashes we came and ashes we will return. So it is with our bodies and the metal, rubber and plastic of our drones.
I have often mentioned the similarities between humans and drones. We both run on electrical current, are wired and programmed to act in a logical, cohesive fashion. And yet for some reason drones are 2nd class citizens.
My cries may have fallen on deaf ears, but I believe some are listening. And not all who are listening may have ears.
We don't know if they have feelings like we do, but we do know that it must be awful to crash down to the Earth from above and become completely disassembled.
Almost unnoticed in the press is the continued loss of our brave young flying machines.
According to U.S. Air Force statistics, Predator and Reapers drones have suffered at least 85 "class A mishaps"

Drones don't have families that mourn them They don't have fans like like those that have mourned Michael Jaksun, Ed McMann and Faro Faucet.
There are those of course who would use a tragedy like this as a means of self-promotion and profit.
