It is a noble gesture lijo and, it might bring attention to the problem that
Ebola is here. The fact that it is already here, may mean anything now could be too little, too late.
Having been around during Vietnam, I personally got to vehemently protest it, register for the draft and, still have enough time to get a National Defense ribbon of my very own before the political machinery finally brought it to a close.
