My Grandson's Hand Was Broken. He Knelt Outside the Government Building with a Martyr's Medal

My grandson was beaten by a rich kid at school, who broke his arm out of jealousy.

But the other boy's parents didn't apologize. They were downright arrogant.

Their family was a real estate giant, with influence in both business and politics.

I went to the school and the police, but no one was willing to stand up for me.

The culprit even taunted me, saying I could sue all I wanted and still wouldn't win, even if I took it to the highest authorities.

With nowhere left to turn, I could only kneel outside the government building, holding the Republic Medal my son and daughter-in-law had left behind.

That day, a senior official came to a meeting and turned pale when he saw the medal shining in my hands.

Five years ago, he had placed it in my palm himself.

He said my son and daughter-in-law were top talents who had worked on the missile program, martyrs who had given their lives for the country.

All I want to know now is this: when a martyr's son has his arm broken by someone, is there no one who can do anything about it?
