A little history of who stole an ancient symbol to cause modern day death and destruction.

Sometimes, bad people abuse good words, sayings and symbols. Today's history lesson will show how the squared intertwined double cycle had been first used for noble purposes; good fortune and well being for thousands of years. American Indian Tribes including the Navajo and Hopi adorned it; the US Army 45th Infantry had used it and if one happens to wander through the jungles of Viet Nam, we found it to be a very religious symbol for the Buddhist culture. It is used much like how we put crosses in our cemeteries. Over there they put the double cycled sign on their headstones to show that people are intertwined forever. Even the Mormon Church used it for the LDS University commencement brochure for the graduating class of 1908. But then, an evil man came along and stole it and used it for death and destruction. The Swastika will never be the same, and indications are that even today some people full of anger and hate still abuse that ancient symbol. Although we can't redo history, we thought we would present the reader with a two for one deal. A history lesson and rural Jones Anthropology-all for the price of nothing, except your time and bi-focals!
