American Grandma
Here’s a quote from a government employee who witnessed a recent interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester in a Metro station in DC:
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 getting off the escalator and a young (twenties) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.
The young protester put her hand on the old woman’s shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, “Lady, don’t you care about the children of Iraq?”
The old woman looked up at her and said, “Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea, and a son in Vietnam. All three died so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again, I’ll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it!”

Fortunately American citizens have the right to
state their opinions in the form of a protest. The anti-American are a vocal minority. In my opinion,
anti-war can be good Americans. Nobody likes war.
For those who would threaten our country and appear to have the means to do significant damage, the leaders of our country should respond appropriately.
It seems that it is better to be a little too early
reponding than a little too late. One of the main responsibilities of our President and leaders is to protect the homeland. We have a lot worth protecting. I served on-the-ground in Viet Nam and proud to have served. I thank our present Administration for protecting our Homeland. We do care about the children Of Iraq. It is one of the reasons we have military still there.March 6th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
