Funny how she never wears a flag pin on ANY outfit she wears! I can’t be the only one who notices?
Never knew that. That is lovely! Thanks for sharing it.
By the way, Capt Kangaroo, (Cant think of his name) was a Marine Medic on Saipan. Lee Marvin had been shot in the buttocks, Capt patched him up..true American hero, (Werent they all?).

I don’t know if you intended this post to be satire or humor, but Bob Keeshan was only 17, and still in high school, when the Battle of Saipan occurred. He joined the Marine Corps Reserve the next year, 1945, but the Japanese surrendered before he was scheduled to leave the states.
Lew Marvin was injured at Saipan but was not doctored by Bob Keeshan. That false story has been around for many years, but is untrue. Marvin, after a year of recovery from his wounds, was given a medical discharge in 1945.

She may well die within a year. Then we’ll be stuck with that moron Kaine.
