These are not solid things that one can touch. But it is real. It is the blood shed,by thousands of men before you who paid the supreme price for their wives, children and loved ones to live in tranquility. This supreme price, - their lives. They died proud and never to know that people like you would come along and spit on their graves. "My nephew and niece will never have to experience the fear of seeing a barbed wire fence or a brick wall separating him or her from their mother and father, nor will they have to carry identification papers, to be stopped by armed guards wherever they go. "You can take this as fiction if you wish, but please, I ask you just one thing; the next time you take your girlfriend to a movie, please, think of my buddy. He gave his life so you can watch that movie in peace. You'll never have to go through what he has. You've got it made. Also, think of his wife and family - it's the least you can do. ^ "After the movie is over with you'll go to a bar and have a drink.
