She was in Gettysburg. With friends she did walk and talk.

A shop there sported their rebel stars and bars. It was a nice shop, so she said to her friends, "C'mon. Let's go in and take a look around. I'm sure that we'll find something we like..." She looked back and she noticed that one of her friends had not come in. "What's wrong?" She inquired. "Don't you see that flag? It's a warning!!! I'm not going in!!!" Her friend responded... She really hadn't  noticed it until then... But now she couldn't help it. She went to the shopkeep and presented her reasoning. "My friend is a good person and maybe you are one too. But your flag is offensive and to some it's a threat!!!" The shopkeeper responded by removing the flag and never flying it again...

It has not brought about world peace but changes happen all of the time... And saying something when you know that you are right is all that can be done at times.

So go out on limb...

Of yourself please do give...

There is no telling how you might just be changing the world...
