I'm not sure we want to produce Americans of that caliber, again.
The cost was extremely high. The circumstances that led to those great people were terrible in an absolute sense.
I hope we never NEED to be those people, again.
I wish we could raise our children, and grandchildren in a world w/o the threats of tyrants and despots. I wish for lazy summer days, lying in the grass, watching clouds, or allowing children to have a full and wonderful childhood.
Ther problem is that such idyllic situations provide the opportunity for tyrants to persue thier evil plans.
Eternal vigilence is the price of freedom.
