I was not at the Capitol when things happened… I can only go by what I saw and heard and read; I am sadden by it. I would like to believe that the majority had good intent to have a peaceful expression of their views. However the actions of a few impacts impacts us all. I will not lump everyone into a single label because our future depends on seeing the value of character, truth and common ground.
I believe it is not weakness to strive to understand… I believe that respect for the flag is to strive to bridge this gap of what makes America great. For me it is not needing 20,000 in uniform to have a peaceful transition of power. Without understanding between us how can we return to peace?
