If it offends them I say tough. They should NOT tear it down. I am sick and tired of the opposition always wanting to tear down things that represent goodness. How about the condom ads or all the filth in the movies that are advertised in public? How about the dresses that are baring it all i n public? That offends me but I don't ask them to stop wearing them. How about the filthy mouths on TV, movies and the like? I don't try to bar them. I don't watch or listen but I don't try to bar them from speaking and acting so filthy and degrading. The cross has been there in honor of these veterans and it should stay there. Everyone should stand up and support it's being there. This has all gone too far and I for one am sick and tired of the other side wanting it their way or the highway. It's time we stood up too for what WE think is right and just. We have rights too!
I do try to fight for good in my little corner of the world. I try to do what I can to make at least this little part better. I get saddened by some of the stuff that I see and the tactics that people use for certain things, but that's not going to stop me from trying to be a force for good (despite my many shortcomings) in my community. Even if Sodom and Gomorrah had had but a few good people, they would not have been utterly destroyed. Hopefully, I can help plant some seeds of goodness that will help change lives for the better.
Congratulations for being the sort of person who's not afraid to stand up for what is right.
As far as the military, those who fight for my freedom have my highest respect. I'm too wimpy to ever be in the service, so you will not hear ONE word of criticism to come from my lips.
