Historically, Waterville has a parade to honor veterans and those
who fell while serving.

This year, one group of veterans has been arrested for protesting a display of small
white flags
denoting those American soldiers who have died in Iraq.

This is across the river from Winslow, the town that wouldn't allow a peace demonstration on the 4th of July while the fighter jets thundered overhead.

I wonder if the veterans want us not to understand that American soldiers are dying on the President's order?

As a veteran, I have to say that this objection bugs the hell out of me. What's Veterans' Day for, if not to remember those who died...?
