Let me further go on to say that my cousin had the highest civilian security clearance in the Navy during WWII, my family has fought in every war except the present conflict (my son wouldn't be accepted in the Armed Services now thanks to local law enforcement, nor will he ever be able to acquire a decent job with his education) from the French-Indian War, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Spanish American War, Civil War, WWI, WWII, Vietnam, my great, great, great -- whatever Uncle he was -- penned the Gouvernour Morris -- penned the Constitution - yup, we write real good in this family -- we all believed in God taught Sunday School, served our country and protected it from harm. So, I can say with complete certainty things my family is microcosm of America and what it should be -- if I say something stinks -- at least in St. Louis and the County -- it stinks.

It should read, "So, I can say with complete certainty, my family is a microcosm of America and what it should be...

I believe you. I understand things smell pretty bad in Kansas City, too. In view of what your son went through, your perspective is understandable. I sincerely hope something good breaks for him soon. I simply wanted to make you aware that what happened to him and the attitude that prevailed does not represent most of LE.

You have an enviable heritage and a great deal to be proud of.

God bless you and your family.
