...oppose the war. But their memorial was open to all sorts of interpretations, as is evident from the stack of thank you notes that the Benders have collected. "I'm not sure if your display is to say thank you to the men and women who are serving our country," one Air Force veteran wrote, "or if it's intended to bring attention to the audacity and stupidity of our elected leaders." One woman pulled into the driveway bearing a photograph of her nephew, killed in action the day before. Another day, a Marine in uniform...
...been concerned about these continuous gas flares until about 10 years ago, when I read Al Gore's book Earth in the Balance. My interest in environmentalism was further aroused by the 2004 award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Wangari Maathai, who was also named among your Heroes.
