God Bless Grandma

Here's a quote from a government employee who witnessed a recent
interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester in a Metro
station in D.C.


"There were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets on
the evils of America . I politely declined to take one.

"An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young
(20ish) female protester offered grandma a pamphlet, which she politely
declined.

"The young protester put her hand on the grandma's shoulder as a gesture
of friendship, and in a very soft voice said, 'Lady, don't you care
about the children of Iraq ?'

The old woman looked up at her and said, "Honey, my father died in
Germany during World War II, I lost my husband in the Korean War, and a
son in Vietnam All three died so you could have the right to stand
here, and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again. I'll stick this
umbrella up your [backside] and open it."
