Looking Like America

Transfer of the 13 fallen service members at Dover AFB

I noticed something highly unusual today in the solemn ceremony of the transfer of the thirteen fallen service members. In our current diversity-obsessed culture, I wonder how many other Americans also noticed.

Every single one of those flag-draped caskets looked exactly the same. They were identical in every way. There was no indication of the race, color, creed, or gender of the courageous warrior within. There were no quotas, no percentages, no demands for "equity." For each of the thirteen there was an identical box, an American flag, an honor guard, a broken family, and a fallen hero. No more, no less--no difference. 

With constant gratitude to each and every active duty member of our military, and with unending thanks to all our veterans, I must say that looked like America to me.
