It's not a Christmas ornament it's offensive

The peace symbol used in the 1960s as a protest against the war in Vietnam is repugnant to me. I saw it plastered all over the grimy clothing of hippies, on protest signs and eventually scrawled on the helmet covers of fighting men in Vietnam. The symbol meant anything and everything but peace. In Nam it meant I could expect that whoever was wearing that symbol was using drugs, i.e. marijuana and/or heroin. Certainly not everyone who wore that symbol used drugs but the preponderance of those who did wear the symbol used drugs. The symbol also meant contempt for the men and women who served in the military. I was in the military and felt that contempt on more than one occasion. Yesterday a catalog arrived in our home from the Pottery Barn. Emblazoned on the front cover as a Christmas tree ornament is a peace symbol all covered in glitter and set against a balsam backdrop. I am truly offended to see that show up on a Christmas tree as an ornament.
