I've
always had a problem with peacenik protesters. Even as a teen during the crazy
'60s and the war in Vietnam. There are two reasons for this. First is the
objective criteria which defines a just war. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself was
no pacifist, otherwise He would not have told His disciples to arm themselves.
(Lk 22:36) The second is more personal. It's hearing the sound of Taps
playing in my head as I type this and remember the remarkable men from my family
who are listed below.

celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII aboard the battleship USS
North Carolina. http://www.battleshipnc.com/AbouttheShip/CrewRoster
