Reply #20: I changed my avatar so I could join you in saluting George tonight.

Your description of the cemetery and service moved me to tears. Like the tears I shed for friends whose names are on that beautiful black wall in Washington, DC.

I could very well spend my last years out your way. I'll be out there again next month visiting family, and if you'd be kind enough to PM me George's name, I will try to visit and honor him. If not this visit, another one soon.



As for McCain, he is a coward and a traitor indeed to men like George. This is what I hope to do when he and those like him are finally gone:

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

from Masters of War, by Bob Dylan
