Oh, How true that we don't remember our veterans? I know David Robinson is not tarnished. I think it is unfair that those who speak for the war and are famous are tarnished by the media. I am against this war, but those who are for the war should have the right to be heard and still respected for their opinions. I don't want Pearl Harbor Day as a national holiday either. It can fall under other holidays to remember those who died that day, such as memorial day or Veterans Day.

ETA: And, for what it's worth, I appreciate you.
