We wrote to each other as children 50 years ago. We lost touch until a few years ago. The recent terrorist atrocities reminded me of a personal experience with a terrorist attack. Pray and pray often My heart is heavy. It feels as if it will fall out or explode or implode.
Goodness speaks in a whisper.
I am a police officer for the Waukegan Police Department and one of three DARE officers for our department. I have been teaching DARE classes since 1997 and I must say that it has been one of the most enjoyable assignments that I have had since being on the department. The Fifth Column is still active and still in place in our nation's airports. The Fifth Column that existed during the pre-Pearl Harbor years was readily identifiable with the surreptitious information gathering methods done by the Axis Powers only because of their national and racial stereotypings which were correct. This is still paralleled today but with different sounding names of many more nationalistic types and more cowardly methods.
