Okay cuz you guys are getting to the good stuff now hold on. I would like to think we as family and friends can discus the very difficult issues of our past without thinking bad of each other. There has always been two side and will continue to be. I would like to see us make our thought and beliefs know, shear them with others, hopefully that could help us to understand each other. We don't have to agree and every thing but it is a shame if we just want to be disagreeable. I am learning and gaining insight from each post and I hope everybody else is as well. I didn't start this thread to make people angry with each other or to change your position in life. Rather to share our views openly and honestly with each other to help us never have to face a difference like that again. Where people, Brother, and Cousins can't sit down and discus there differences with civility to each other. Respecting each others position and hopefully being able to work out any problems that may arise without going to WAR. Dog gone if we can't even talk about our past here how can we think others peoples of the world can have peace in there countries that have much longer and bloodier histories than ours. Now I want to thank those of you that have shared your thoughts on any side. I think we can all see there is still lots of pain surrounding this part of our history so please lets continue without malice to one another and in a spirit of understanding. If you have been thinking badly of anyone raise your hand, then march right over to your PC and say I'm sorry and continue this very interesting discussion of our Countries History and our Honorable Forefather. I think we get just a hint of the strong differences there were and are still to this day. As for me I want to remember them all with great respect for the stand they took on both sides. It was not easy some gave everything including there lives. I think we can be a little tolerant don't you? Your Pal Cuz;en David 906 W Terrace Dr Plant City Fl. 33565 813-659-3435
