According to the North Carolina state government website, Thursday was for Mandela, Saturday was for Pearl Harbor Day.
I was amused to find that two of my teenagers didn’t know who Mandela was. Their knowledge of South Africa includes the Zulu Wars, the diamond industry, wine, and my brother’s safari trip.
Lowering the American flag at half staff for a terrorist murderer of a foriegn land is like spitting on the graves of our fallen heros PERIOD!
