I couldn't agree more. My father fought in WWII. He has a few 'mementos'
himself--not of a Nazi nature. So I think we're on the same 'page' :-)
And very well put, I might add...
Denton and Catmaster,
Aside from the freedom of speech aspect. My father, and many like
him, treasure his Nazi memorabilia. To him they represent ties to a
time when many brave and not-brave people made sacrifices and even gave
their lives for the betterment of people that they didn't even know, or
in many cases know of. These "mementos" can be offensive to some yet
also represent a time of great giving and even heroism by many others.
I ask those of you who are so offended, to broaden your views a little
to allow others the same liberties you exercise so readily.
There are pages before and after the page you're on, you must read
them all to get the entire story.
