<HTML>Thanks, Yngvi!!

You have helped me a LOT on this!

Had the other 7 been merely common criminals who killed fellows for a carton of cigarettes or such, I would pass by their graves. But after further research, I feel they acted in the best interest of their country at the time. All soldiers can be proud of their intentions. They acted as soldiers loving their homeland, their families, and their fellows. (Even Guenther, Kunze, and Drechsler probably had best intentions in mind, per their own thinking.)

These were young men, who acted as soldiers for their countries. I\'m glad I spread my flowers among them ALL last September. Rest assured, all 14 will get flowers and flags EVERY time I visit!!! I respect all 14, and their higher intentions. They didn\'t do what they did from selfishness, but from patriotism.

Actually, all 14 graves here face to the south, so these men will \"never see the rising or setting of the sun.\" (Yet, even the USA doesn\'t control who goes to heaven or who gets flowers on their graves!!!) The United States can be very vindictive and mean-spirited, and I am NOT proud of this part of my country\'s history in the least.

Yet, I\'m proud of my country\'s freedom, that I can thoroughly criticize it without being shot! :)

God bless ALL here on the forum!!

Regards,
Craig
