It does occur to me that the experience of having my Dad go to war, of living under camouflaging (military base building planes, San Diego) of hearing my own mom say that the scariest thing in her life was the Second World War "We didn't know if we could win it and Hitler was overwhelming Europe" ....the pictures of the concentration camps when our guys first got there (I had a roommate who was in Santa Thomas with her whole family...they were lined up to be shot as our guys came through the walls in tanks...

I could go on and on...I've been back to visit those camps...my Dad evacuated survivors from Leyhte and other such campaigns...left to die on the landing areas .....

My family recently visited a friend who is the Ambassador in Germany and he arranged with private tutors at their request for a very thorough set of tours focusing on Hitlers early days....

I think this presidential vote is a critical vote and to squander it is horribly wrong.
