I realized it was a bone. I was going to throw it down again, and I thought, my God, this may be all that’s left of someone. So I wrapped it up and carried it with me. A couple of days later, I dug it out of my pocket and buried it. —George Kaiser, American Soldier</p><p>THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
