Just because it doesn't touch them or their family they think they shouldn't have to deal with it or explain to their children what it's all about. Ignorance, I think, is what it is. <br /><br />They don't stop to think that this could actually happen and be on their soil and in their faces just as easily as it is halfway around the world. <br /><br />I am a few years older than you and I remember sitting as a kid watching the Viet Nam war on the nightly news, and when the war was over I watched those guys come home and get spit on. It left a very big impression on me. I get a bit upset when people don't realize what sacrifices those people then and now in the military, and their families, make for our freedom. Just because it doesn't touch their lives, why should they care. That's their mentality. I just don't understand people sometimes. <br /><br />Thank you for your post.

I live at Riggs and McQueen -- not far from you at all, and we go to the same Trader Joes over in Ahwatukee. :) Yes, crocheters are welcome. Two of the ladies there were actually crocheting. One is working on a counted cross stitch. I think it would be so great if you came by to see if it's a fit for you. It would be so nice to meet you!Samara Linkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289273550527944603noreply@blogger.com
