I'm a veteran of one of my nation's many armed conflicts. I even have a medal, some ribbons and an old photo of me getting a written commendation from the hands of one of the "great" men of my time. I believe in good citizenship. I believe in the virtues of faith, love, hope and charity. I don't think this gives me any special understanding or ownership of freedom or its cost. I don't think there is any special Catholic understanding on these matters and mean nothing derogatory towards Catholics in expressing such feelings.
I don't think you understand the cost of freedom, Tim. What price have you ever paid?
You seem more one of those stand on the sidelines and cheer us on types.
