that made me bawl. great article, sending it on to all of my family and Paula.
Paula’s response to the article: “makes me cry; makes me remember; makes me proud.”
I would have thought you had seen it already. Glad I was able to point you to it. He has been getting a lot of comments from all over on it. He really wanted to be able to explain to the younger kids the meaning of it all.
Paula said she sent it to her kids and said this explains how I grew up to be a Steelers fan. I haven’t been on Twitter much lately so I would have missed it, glad you posted it.

I’ve been to events where off duty police as security are required if the venue serves alcohol. I’ve also been to ones that do not. I think the difference was the ones that require it are government owned, public facilities.
well the place in Boardman where my niece had her wedding 6 yrs ago, had the requirement but waived it— Anthony’s? I think it was called.
my SIL asked me if we were having our own cop or if ANCC provided security. I was like, WHAT? had no idea what she was talking about bc I have never seen that done anywhere we have been.
Mr. Anthony’s probably. I’ve been there.
so why this requirement? because Ytown is full of miscreants?
Some expatriates expatiate on how evil America is —often to the delight of the host regime— once they feel free of repercussions…

I don’t know. Like I said it’s common in public buildings and I guess so private ones copy along.
