I did not know until just recently that not everyone thought the way I did about the military and about patriotism.
I recently took a guest to see the Eisenhower Center and waited expectantly to hear her say how wonderful it was. I finally asked her, "Well, what do you think?" and she said, "Well, I am a pacifist".
I don't exactly know what she meant, although of course I do know what a pacifist is.
I was a little child when the second world war ended and it touched everyone and many, many neighbors lost their sons. My uncles were in the European theatre. I stand proudly for our flag and thank a veteran every time I can identify one.
