To nobody's surprise there were protesters today in DC, they attempted to disrupt the metro system.When I was getting on the train, there were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one. An elderly woman was behind me and a young female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder and said, "Ma'am, don't you care about the children of Iraq?" The old woman looked up at her and said, "Honey, my first husband died in France during World War II so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth your country. And if you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your rear."

We had people in our family fight against England, against Mexico, the Civil war, WW1 & WW2. Not Vietnam, my brother did 6 years of civil service instead though.

If this specific story isn't true, then I'm sure it has happened elsewhere, somewhere along those lines at least. God Bless our vets, past and present!
