U.S. Combat Veterans
I spoke to a Marine combat veteran who fought in Vietnam today. He fought fifty plus years ago; I spoke with him this afternoon. It is an honor and a privilege. He was hurt in Vietnam back around 1968, where things were hard. He knew guys who were killed. He himself was fortunate to only be injured, not maimed for life.
He is a real guy; I have known him since either 2007 or 2008. He has some hard memories and feelings from those times. He went to the cemeteries of our guys at Normandy...
Salinger fought and suffered with his colleagues at Utah Beach, but before that, I think notably, in the sands of that replica place in England. Too many young and battered and buried bodies, on both sides of the Channel. Thanks a lot, Adolph, and the twisters of social Darwinism!
Terrible, the Third Reich.
Any, Happy U.S. Presidents' Day.
Chester Arthur lives forever. For what, we cannot remember.
