It has happened in Germany, France, London, and even right here in America at Ohio State University. Just yesterday we shared a story about it happening in Israel. And so we open up our news feeds and see it has happened again in Sweden. Funny thing, this past Tuesday evening I spoke at the University of Georgia and addressed how we are all on the modern 21st Century battlefield.
