I'm writing regarding Mr. Fernandez Suarez del Solar. I am a mother of a servicewoman who was in Iraq for one year. As a mother, I didn't want her to go. But I couldn't even imagine dishonoring my daughter's or other service members' efforts and sacrifices by doing similar actions of Mr. Suarez del Solar.

But the banner does not stir in me the dewy glimmer of pacifist feeling. Quite the opposite. It gets me thinking about the Hansons, of Groton, Mass., and their beautiful little two-year-old daughter, Christine,...
