The story of Ira Hayes shows how a war hero can be honored as a Marine but dishonored as a human. It does not take anything from the memory of Sgt. Strank. I would do nothing to dishonor Sgt. Strank or the other heroes of Iwo Jima.

The thread was meant to be about young Americans and how they do not realize what this holiday represents.
I said what I said as an example of how that it so.
If you think they do understand or do not understand make your point.
Lecturing me on things I do not need lecturing on seems a waste of a thread.
