Hi my friend:
I too appreciate your honesty and your level-headed thinking. Thank you for stopping in and giving us your opinion. It does mean a lot to me.
My only desire is to respect my vets. It's simple as that. My only wish for Dick Winters is he gets the peace he deserves and the respect from all who admire him. I hope that everyone really works with his true interests in mind, but I've heard too much to convince me otherwise. Since I am not sure of what is going on, I cannot continue to support it.
If Dick Winters wrote me a letter tonight and said, Marion it's okay, then I would back it, but until I see something or hear something a little more substantive than, "Oh ya, Dick has been totally behind this from the beginning", than I will take it as hearsay.
Seems everyone "knows" him and they've claimed he's said everything from A-Z. That is disturbing. I've heard both sides of the story. There isn't. There's only one truth and I am seeking to find it. Until I do, I will lay low and wait.
I don't ever want it said that I'll jump on any bandwagon without doing my homework.
