"content": "a father has passed on while fighting for our country and flying that flag, what else can you give his child? How can we ensure, in this House, that those families continue getting support from Government, so that their children can finish school and move on? Even as I support this Motion this morning, I emphasise that there is need to support the families of our military. In the United States of America (USA), there is nobody who is as special as a person who has defended their country. When the American troops come back home, they find that their families are protected. They are also always remembered. There is even a holiday, in the month of May, where they are celebrated in thanksgiving. The country comes together to remember their heroes. However, after we have buried our CDF, that is the end of it. We do not remember anyone. We do not even remember the family. Nobody will remember Ms. Aileen Ogolla. Maybe the only people who will remember her are the ladies and families within the military who were with her when she got married. It is time we changed our attitude and respected every leader, be it the former President or whoever. Let us respect and honour them. It is even worse when a soldier has fallen in the line of duty. That is when we must accord them due respect and remember their family."
