I must respond! It is my firm belief that our history is not being adequately taught, at all levels in school. I hope that the DAR/SAR organizations are addressing this problem. It is easier to fight for a country, when you know why we are all here! It is easier to know where you are going, if you know where you have been! James Baker "James L.
