After reading several blogs against the war, I just gave up thinking people had a clue. I thought everyone had lost there sense and lost their love of our country. Then, one of our helicopters went down overseas. The Baltimore televsion stations kept playing a quote from Michael Waters-Bey about how he lost a son, and he blamed the President. The first time I saw the quote, I was hot, so hot, my wife had to tell me to quiet down so I didn't wake up the kids. Then, I saw the protesters marching in New York City. And the blood got hotter.
For some reason, at that point, I remembered that freedom of speech is what makes this country what it is. Staff Sgt. Kendall Damon Waters-Bey died so his father could say that the president was wrong. But, I like what the Staff Sgt.'s son, Kenneth, said best, “I was proud of him. He’s going to stay my hero.” Kenneth, your dad is my hero too.
