This Jewish family is wishing peace to Muslims

I am an American-born Jew who was raised in San Luis Obispo County and served four years in the U.S. Navy, and my family and I want to express our solidarity with the people of the Muslim faith.

May peace be upon the people of the Islamic faith.

P.S. I also hold Israeli citizenship, served in the Israeli Defense Forces and am a veteran of the Yom Kippur War.

J. Hardisty, Paso Robles
