The National ...

Earlier this week I posted about the desecrating of the War Memorial in Ottawa. Well I also sent an email to The National, the flagship news show on CBC.

Well last night my email made it on! Yep ... they have a section called "Your Turn" where they post 2 comments from viewers and mine was chosen!

They broadcast: "When my family visits Ottawa we always make a point of visiting the War Memorial and paying our respects to those who served. When I told my 11 year old son about what had occurred at the War Memorial he said "I hope they go to jail, because that's what they deserve." My thoughts exactly. Shirley Forsyth, Hamilton, Ontario"

Cool eh?

War Memorial

Have you heard about what happened at the War Memorial over the weekend? Check this link ... it's just AWFUL and made that much worse that it was a veteran that witnessed the awful spectacle.

I hope that those involved get charged AND convicted of all 3 possible charges:
  1. mischief
  2. being drunk in a public place and
  3. performing an indecent act in a public place.

They should also be tried publically so that they are subject to the derision and defamation that they bestowed on others.

Whenever we visit Ottawa we always stop by the War Memorial and spend a few minutes to give thanks to those who served and made our great country what it is ... to think that some IDIOTS (that's what they are) would urinate on it is absolutely UNTHINKABLE to me!
