On a sloping hill side at Belmont County Memorial Park near St. Clairsville is a small section reserved for my family. Dad, Uncle Arthur, Uncle Bob and Uncle Ralph all have veteran plaques on their graves and little flags giving lonesome waves in a light summer breeze.
And a woman competing for a slot on the U.S. Olympic team rebuffs the American flag as the National Anthem is played. They fought a war and carried its scars and memories mostly in a lifetime of silence so she could do what she did.
