The Umbrella 

THE UMBRELLA - A TOUCHING STORY 

On a rainy afternoon, a group of protesters were gathered outside the grocery store handing out pamphlets on the “evils” of America. I politely declined to take one. 

There was an elderly woman behind me and a young (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. 

The young protester gently put her hand on the old woman's shoulder and in a patronizing voice said, "Don't you care about the children of Iraq?" 

The old woman looked up at her and said: "Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea , and a son in Vietnam.

"All three died so a naive, ignorant, self-centered bimbo like you could have the right to stand here and badmouth our country, and if you touch me again, I'll shove this umbrella up where the sun don't shine and open it."

This is so moving !!!!!!!!!!!!
