Crankshaft

The comic Crankshaft is particularly poignant today. Ed and his pals, WWII Army vets of Europe all, are in DC to visit the WWII Memorial. The tour guide notices some children frolicking in the water of the fountain and comments, "I'd better go tell those kids to stop playing in the fountain." Crankshaft replies, "Lem 'em go. That's why we did it. . so those kids could play in that fountain."
