Yesterday (Sept. 28) I saw groups of children - not protesting - but
marching in "Youth Appreciation." Such a sight you never saw - but no
TV cameras were around to cover it. Small tots, larger children, teen-
agers, all marching in appreciation of their country.
South San Francisco is to be commended for this parade, small
as it was. The heart and the intent was pride in their country.
It was a most delightful event. I hope they have a similar one
every year.
