This past week Mohammad Ali died. I saw where the news outlets called him "The Greatest." I disagree. Ali was a draft dodger. He refused his country's call to service. Here in York County we had many young men who answered their country's call. Sadly, some of these young men lost their lives there. The men and women who served in Vietnam were and still are "The Greatest." Mohammed Ali was a draft dodger.
