You write well. And now to think how the current WH occupant has made a sheer mockery of this memorial. When the service was held on the first anniversary no one would even have dared suggested a Buddhist nun, a Moslem imam, or a Hindu priest during a prayer service at the national Cathedral. Heaven alone knows who’d be on the stage when commemorating the 25th anniversary. A bunch of turbaned priests, saffron-clad Buddhist monks, some half-naked Indian fakirs, and a sprinkling of New Age nuts, and may be the head of Scientology.
I can’t get my head around this. It isn’t casual or unintentional. They are doing it this way for a reason.
