From John Gideon: I want to thank all of those who commented on my rant of yesterday. Your kind comments are very much appreciated. One email I received was especially meaningful to me. The subject line was "In loving memory - Michael, James, Andrew" and after a short bit of encouraging text, and the posters signature line, were three names:
Michael Schwerner, James Chaney, and Andrew Goodman. The names were then followed by a little historical reminder of "Freedom Summer" and the part those three heroes played in the Civil Rights Movement. I realized that we all, all of us, owe it to those three, and all like them past and present who have given so much for our democracy, to keep fighting the good fight.
