Re: Wearing a Flag

I am not trying to be ignorant but what do you mean by "had they been
better educated, they would not have chosen this path."  I do not want
to suspect what you mean and will wait for your reply.

Everyone,
Cindy asked what I meant about listening to NPR.
I thought I was being somewhat ironic, but perhaps I wasn't. Generally,
the men and women who work for our nation's police and fire departments
display what we might think of as an "old fashioned" patriotism. One may
also observe this phenomena in our military personnel (also known as
Servicemen and Servicewomen). It is partly due to their sense of
patriotism that they are so willing to provide the service they do. Had
they been better educated, perhaps they would not have chosen this path.
Sincerely,
