Most of the news concerning Afghanistan consists of lies being presented as truths and fiction posing as fact. It is rather depressing. So let's look away from that for now and focus on the positive things in life, such as the Granddaughter telling about how her Grandmother used to carry an old notebook with her wherever she went. She would fill it with beautiful thoughts she gathered along the way.
Among the horrible sights we have witnessed in Afghanistan has been the burning of the American Flag as The Taliban celebrated what it considers to be a victory over the USA. But our flag is more than just a symbol, and it has a long & glorious history. It was the flag , during the war of 1812, that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star-Spangled Banner, as our massive flag flew triumphantly atop Baltimore's Fort McHenry after U.S. soldiers withstood a 25-hour bombardment by British warships.
