Hicks: Democracy rocks — Elders out in force, voting, protesting and creating clever signs

I RECENTLY DID A STORY about an anti-ICE protest, at which I spoke with a very friendly, sign-toting older lady decked out in red, white and blue, who told me her father was an Irish immigrant wounded in World War I, fighting for the U.S.

World War I — for those who weren’t there or just weren’t in history class — happened from 1914 to 1918. My version of math says her father fought 107 to 111 years ago.
