She was Protestant, and he was Catholic. When I became of age, I volunteered and joined the Army, and I served as an 11B Infantryman. Most of my time in the field was in squad or platoon size operations. We would have discussions about what we were fighting for. It always came back to the “Bill of Rights”.

It's unreasonable to expect Jewish and non-Christian veterans to be honored or respected by a Christian Easter Cross. I hope we will enter a new era of reason after the Tuscon murders, but Sarah Palin has already show she isn't the voice of reason. Her mouth needs to retire, as do proponents of the Christian Easter Cross. Only a trrue hypocrite would say that a Christian Easter Cross honors Jews and non-believers.It's sad to know we have such hypocrites in San Diego. Antisemitism is rampant.
