[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1481171, member: 26302"]I am all for supporting troops but again it gives me the willy's how similar such items are and the coins the Roman empire was striking near the end. A true power does not need to glorify war, they glorify life and liberty. War is a necessary evil, something we must do to be able to have liberty. Maybe the problem with commemorative programs here in the US is the fact the group honored receives money. No one is against funding for USO, museums, and the like. I write a check to the USO every year in rememberence to the good work I enjoyed in Saudi and Kuwait. However, if we changed the law to not make commemorative coins cash cows, maybe that would allow us the freedom to glorify life and liberty more. Just an idea. I know this is just my political opinion, so I will drop it now. Sorry if my opinion is upsetting to anyone.[/QUOTE]
