Faith of our fathers................

Of 2009 Clay Street, Cedar Falls, Iowa

As the 4th of July 2008 nears, this editor of a piss-ant electronic blog toy remembers his father and his three uncles. They served the United States in World War II, and they miraculously all came back. They were men on a certain track in the 1940’s of truly defending their country. No question about it.

How would they feel about George Bush’s murderous war-faring adventures? That is an open question among some of their descendents who are on oppposing sides. But the debate has a different hue now that it did, say, in 2003, when we invaded Iraq. (This editor strongly opposed the horrendous exercise then, and still, only more-so, does.)

Times change, and with them, their demands.

Ah, for the time when the red, white and blue flew proudly and was the envy of all. There is much re-building to be done around the world.

But this 4th, as always, the members of the far-flung Dix Clan, of which this editor, - as the oldest - is the current "grand patriarch," can and shall unite in paying due respect to our fore-fathers, the Four Fathers.

So mote it be.

May They Rest In Their Well-Deserved Peace!
