Dear Patricia, I have not seen a ruling on this thread so I am going
to go ahead and make my statement. We may have come kicking and
screaming into the WWII but come we did and at what a price. Think
Flanders Fields....and a lot of other places Americans are buried
because they died defending another country's right to freedom. The
next time you speak out, perhaps you should consider how many have
paid the ultimate price (and not just Americans, but all peoples who
have fought and died for freedom) for the privilege of you exercising
your right to express your opinion. Patriotism is a good thing! Try
exercising it yourself. And what better place to say "Hurrah!
Hurrah! Hurrah! for America and her service men and women than an
International forum? What about it American Lacemakers - you have
enough courage to square your shoulder, stand up and say "ditto" if
not make a statement of your own. Before you decide check out this
website for the funeral of one of American's fallen heros. He was
the most American of us all.

I hope all you have to do is click on the link and it will take you
to the site, if not, copy and paste into your browser.
Now I am going to go back to bed with the miserable bug that has
attacked me and is fixin' to spoil my weekend...

I'm going to stick my head above the parapet and ask the moderator
to rule on
patriotic outbursts on an international forum. I imagine we all
love our
respective countries but don't feel it neccessary to voice it in
the context of
this list. It is, after all, a form of political statement.
As I understand from history the Japanese attacked Pearl Horbour
and this was
followed by a declaration of war against the USA by either Hitler or
Mussolini or both. Therefore that country was dragged kicking and
screaming into the
conflict and didn't "volunteer" to come to the aid of England ( or
the rest of
the British Isles or an occupied Europe).
But this kind of response is what results from earlier statements.
Please.
Alice. stick to lace, of which you are very knowledgeable, and less
contentious
subjects.
