Last night in class I showed the opening scene from the movie Patton. I told the class that whatever you consider America to be, there are people in the world who want to take it away from you. That's why we sometimes need warriors such as Patton. I told them a little about my service and my experiences. Most paid close attention; some didn't. Well, that's all part of our America.
