But I guess these days we see more talk and little or no action. Nobody it seems is willing to stand up for their beliefs. I was an Air Force ROTC cadet awaiting graduation and commissioning when the Viet Nam War ended. So it is not surprising that I did not side with the anti-war protestors of that war. But surprisingly one of my own personal heroes was a man who went to prison during this period because of his claim of being a conscientious objector - Muhammed Ali. This man who was the Heavyweight Boxing World Champion surrendered his world title, his fortune and even his personal freedom for something he believed in. I did not agree with him at the time but I honor his stand to this day. I bring this up on this Memorial Day in order to bring honor to all those who have given the "last full measure" so that men of equal honor such as Muhammed Ali can make the stand that he did.
