Sound Off for September 5, 2017

Eurostench

Fitting tribute

My relatives fought, died, and killed in every war Georgia has been in, from the Revolutionary War to today's War against Muslim terrorism. The proud memorials for every war should remain regardless of who won.

Opposites

Irony impaired
