Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it...

A young man came to our shared booth a couple of weeks ago in Greensboro. I asked him if he'd like to look at anything, and he behaved a bit oddly, rather suppressed.

Eventually, he asked me if the flag on an adjoining table was a "Nazi" thing? He whispered it so quietly that I had to ask him to repeat it.

I told him, "you know what that really is? That is a war trophy, brought home by a heroic soldier that won his battles and brought this home so that he would never forget the struggle that he helped win."

That seemed to satisfy him, and he was all attention while I showed him how to assemble and disassemble a Luger at our table...
