Please excuse me if I sound a little ticked off, but I can't believe there has been more sympathy and remembrance on this board directed toward John Lennon's death than there has been toward our thousands of veterans who died in Pearl Harbor.

All this gushing over a so-called musical genius, yet very little honoring the thousands of men who died defending the freedoms of this country. The same freedoms that allow people like Lennon and his ilk to come here and protest this and that and yet still be safe in their own beds every night. You may have guessed I am not a fan of his, and hold nothing against those who are. I am just disgusted when a pop star with questionable character receives so much love, and those who made the supreme sacrifice are basically forgotten.

Just my two cents...
