Monday

Scenes like a crashed helicopter in front of the JC Penneys were a bit jarring.

It drove home the point that we have been mostly untouched by war in this country on our own soil since the 1st Civil War.

Also drove home the idea that no one on any side in their right mind wants this.

And the old guy saying that the woman had "lost her faith in the power of journalism".

Unfortunately too many of today's have forgotten the sacrifices made for truth by those who went before.
