There are bullet-ridden and blood-stained flags in San Francisco's City Hall that beg to differ and were carried by this city's sons to different wars and conflicts. I cried when I first saw them.
- simoncion 12y agoThis is a gentle reminder that when someone says "Place X has known peace for period Y" they mean "There has been no significant military action in Place X for period Y.". People from Place X can engage in military action in other places during period Y, but Place X is still in a period of peace.
- sp332 12y agoWell my City Hall has blood-stained flags too, they're from the Civil War http://www.unionleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20131219/NEWS06/131219180&template=printart http://www.unionleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201312... which didn't happen anywhere around here. I wouldn't say NH was "at peace" during the civil war though.
