Today is Flag Day in the United States. As much as I want to wave the flag and feel warm and fuzzy to be an American, I am haunted by the stories of those who fought and died to preserve what we have in America. Without those sacrifices, the flag is just a fancy piece of cloth.
Thank you very much, I’m honored.
It’s a history people need to read, GP. (Incidentally, I liked your comment on the award. I don’t accept them either, but mostly because they have a chain letter aspect about them. If they were like Pulitzers, perhaps, they’d have some meaning, but otherwise….!)
I just couldn’t see interrupting a war story to talk about MY likes and dislikes, etc. It just doesn’t seem right.
Agreed. Of course, you had little choice but to remind people of your position.
