Letter: Democracy is in danger
During World War II, Rabbi Roland B. Gittlsohn delivered a eulogy over the newly dug graves of U.S. Marines on Iwo Jima. His words are preserved at the Harry S. Truman Library. He said, “Here lie men who loved America …, officers and men, Negroes and whites, rich and poor, together … here no man prefers another because of his faith, or despises because of his color…among these men there is no discrimination, no hatred. Theirs is the highest and purest democracy … whomever of us … thinks himself superior to those who happen to be in the minority, makes of this ceremony, and of the bloody sacrifice it commemorates, (a) … hollow mockery.
