Here in Canada gay people who were kicked out of the army before it became an accepted fact now want an apology, as do most groups or peoples that were or felt they were done wrong.  It wasn't wrong for the time.

Just my opinion.  I like NB Forrest and there is a great talk on him by Ranger Matt Atkinson here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy8bWsCA...tysburgNPS

What a great speaker. My favorite was his pronunciation dilemma "ru...rur...rule...farming community".
Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. --Walt Kelly
