Read it againâ?¦I did.

So instead of being thankful to our men and women in uniform we should see them for what they are cold blooded killers.

Maybe Iâ??m just being touchy.

I apologize Donnie if you didnâ??t mean it that way, but that is the way it was received by me. I realize the way I receive it is not your problem.
Apology not necessary .... Perhaps I could have been clearer. Message boards can be difficult in that respect.

I was a teen during this time peoiod, and I remember it vividly. The assasinations of Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy, courageous men who gave their lives for freedom. My point was that there is room to honor ALL who gave their lives for freedom on Memorial day.
