To the Editor:

I have been asking myself this same question (as the one posed in the headline last week for a letter addressing the defiling of a Hillary Clinton sign and the occurrence of other “anti-Semitic symbols, racist slurs, children sporting foul language on their T-shirts and grown men signaling grotesque anti-religious sentiments on theirs”).

It is Veterans Day. I am honoring my father, who was tortured for 1½ years by the Japanese at a POW camp in Burma during WWII.
