What a great story! Here is your 85 yr old speaking her mind once again and thanking you for your brave stand against injustice. I always am thankful for the strength I’ve had in my own life to stand up against the powers that controlled us back in the day. Abandoned by my mother years ago, at the age of five, along with my two sisters, the oldest 14, and 12 we set across this country by ourselves and survived! We had lost out brother in WWII at the age of 18 after he joined the USNavy, my mother left with another man, so my father joined the Navy also, leaving us alone. But, boy did it give me strength! I knew what injustice was and how to overcome it. I thank my older sister for her bravery in keeping my sister and I alive and moving on in life.In all honesty, “It pissed me off!” But I didn’t need an AR15 to make me a strong woman, it was the love of a sister who told me the best revenge is SUCCESS a being a useful human being!
