Asian American Romance: [asianamericanromance] Re: Memorial Day

Jerry:

Before you start suggesting books for people to read. I suggest you read my original post:

"It not matter what your politic belief-it should not stop from honoring those who died to protect the freedom of others."

This is NOT about politics. This about the men and women who made the sacrifice and gave their lives for others.

PERIOD.

If you want to talk how bad America is and how wonderful so many other countries there is-I suggest that there are plenty of political groups and discussion boards to do that.

Maybe it is because I come from another country that I appreicate the USA and what it has to offer. Maybe it not perfect-but there is much to appreciate.
