F*ckin Germans
I must agree. My dad was in the Pacific USMC. And because he was behind the wire his DD214 said no combat...which was total BS. Times have changedToughest generation.
They also think Facsists are far right. The DNC is by definition Facsist.The left believes we were cultural appropriators forcing freedom and democracy down the throats of the people led by great leaders like Hitler and Hirohito.
Same for me a few years ago when I went to Arlington, VA. Jareed took me to view the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Horrible dust...Visiting Pearl a few years ago, specifically the Submariners ring of honor as well as the USS Arizona memorial, gave me a much deeper appreciation for what happened that day. Gotta say.. must have been a lot of dust in the air that day I visited. ;)

TV series (maybe Smithsonian Channel?) few years ago called "Hell Below". First season had episodes focusing on Mush Morton and Dick O'Kane. Really, REALLY, good. Other good episodes too, but those stand out in my memory.

I’ve been to Normandy; it’s an amazing experience.Arlington is awesome. I hope to make Normandy some day.
We went to the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville 11+ years ago, it wasn’t fully completed. The wall of names following the flight path upside down at 563 mph and the rock in the field were the impact happened. Absolutely gut wrenching. Want to get to ground zero one day soon as well.

Cover,My granddaddy enlisted with the Navy right after Pearl Harbor and spent his time in the New Hebrides. He was 28, married with two young daughters. He always said it was his duty to serve. I have the utmost respect for the men and women of his generation and the sacrifices they made. It is painful to see the nation that turned the tide in the war and did so much for its own citizenry, as well as many abroad, find itself under attack from within by the same ideologies that it defeated in Europe. With God’s Grace and the same resolve we can overcome once more…but will we? It hurts to think in those terms especially after all the sacrifices that began on this day in 1941.
