My dad is a World War II veteran. My mom is the one who led us in prayer. Together, they gave me a sense ...beyond everyday ordinary common sense. It was deeper. It became a portion of what I now believe ....that we should strongly support good throughout the earth.

I felt I lived in a good community. As a whole, I believed our nation was good ...and I believed we should support efforts for maintaining a good earth. Many shared the same foundational beliefs, and were even prepared to fight to maintain them. I'm not referring to those occasions where some appear all too eager to fight ...I'm referring to defending against the atrocities I'd hope none of us would ignore.
