The Umbrella
Got this in an email today. I certainly don’t know if this is a true story but the message is a slam dunk fact.

Here’s a quote from a government employee who witnessed a recent
interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester. There were
protesters at the grocery store handing out pamphlets on the evils of
America . I politely declined to take one.
interaction between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester. There were
protesters at the grocery store handing out pamphlets on the evils of
America . I politely declined to take one.
There was an elderly woman behind me and a young (20-ish) female protester
offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. The young protester
put her hand on the old woman’s shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in
a very soft voice the young lady said, “Lady, don’t you care about the
children of Iraq?”

The old woman looked up at her and said: “Honey, my father died in France
during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea , and a son in Vietnam ..
All three died so a bitch like you could have the right to stand here and
badmouth our country. If you touch me again, I’ll stick this umbrella up
your ass and open it.”

God bless that old lady!
