One day in our country,

and don’t urge girls to marry,
as families support their boys to go to school
and don’t urge boys to marry. Continue reading Prayer 297

The ghosts of Vietnam are stirring anew, just as Trump prepares to visit the nation on his first presidential tour of Asia. Vietnam war hero Sen. John McCain, who spent more than five years in a prisoner of war camp after his plane was shot down, this week put an unwelcome spotlight on Trump’s five draft deferments to avoid military service.
