KJA Happenings for the week of August 20, 2017
Dear all,
 
I have just sent the e-mail shown below to my two senators and my congressman. You are welcome to use and copy or plagiarize any of my remarks should you be so inclined.
Love, Henry

My immediate family and I barely escaped the Holocaust 3 weeks after Pearl Harbor, although many of my other relatives were murdered by the German occupiers and the Vichy French government. I am now a US citizen and a 100%-disabled Korean War veteran.
 
I was outraged by the comments of the President when he stated that the KKK and the Nazi sympathizers in Charlottesville had "as much good" as the victims of the disturbance.
 
If you share my patriotic sentiments, what do you plan to say and do following these scandalous presidential comments?
 
Henry A. Fribourg, Ph. D.
