Kids' gun protests should make adults proud
My fifth great-grandfather was 19 when he took part in the storming of the Bastille in Paris in 1789. I have always marveled at the courage he had at such a young age. Now we see the same courage in the kids in Florida and around the country as they rise up against the slaughter against innocents by unstable individuals using military weapons. What my ggggg-grandfather did changed France's history. I hope that these kids today can have the same impact on our history. That they can accomplish what we adults haven't been able to. They should make all of us proud.
