Reagan’s Visit to Germany
President Reagan’s decision to honor German soldiers killed in World Wars I and II is a right decision.
Any group that would be offended by such a gesture of respect is condemned to a miserable existence.
No matter what the ideological differences that separate men in wartime, they are united in death. They are all someone’s father, brother, husband--loved ones all.
I was born in 1954. I, and an entire generation, have no memory of hatred for Germans. Don’t you see how childishly stubborn appear these life-long grudges held by some against an entire people? Why visit the sins of our fathers upon us, the innocent children of all nations?
