Love those patriotic pictures of the young queen.

Did her sister, Margaret Rose, also serve her country?

Margaret would have barely turned 15 when the war ended. They should have found something to keep her busy even with the big military draw down, as she seems to have started getting into man trouble within a couple years, if I recall the history correctly.

A move that is likely be seen as disrespectful by veterans.

So what else is new?

I think you mean The Queen (Princess Elizabeth then.)

The Queen Mother was her mother.

Exactly, because he is disrespectful to veterans and our country.

Doesn’t matter where it is, we still have to have a strong enough president to ask for it back.
Preferably in person.

An interesting side note. In May 1940, Queen (then Princess) Julianna of the Metherlands, Prince Bernhard and and their children, were evacuated to Ottawa, Canada where they remained until May 1945. They resided at Stornoway, the residence of the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.

While on Ottawa, Princess Julianna became pregnant. Under the laws of succession in the Netherlands, for this child to be in line for the throne, she could NOT have dual citizenship. The maternity ward of the Ottawa Civic Hospital was temporarily declared to be extraterritorial by the Canadian government, so Princess Margreit was born in technically 'international' territory. The Dutch flag flew on the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill to announce the birth of a new Dutch Princess.

Since the liberation of the Netherlands, every year the Dutch Royal family send thousands of tulip bulbs to Ottawa for the annual Canadian Tulip Festival, as a 'Thank You' for WWII. The Canadian Tulip Festival is billed as the largest tulip festival in the world. If you are ever in Ottawa, the largest displays are located along the Rideau Canal and Dow's Lake.

How can you even mention Queen Elizabeth in the same sentence as this blob of infected pus swept up from the gutter? Like comparing a Westminster Best-in-Show with a flea ridden mutt. I’m not talking about royalty, I’m talking about plain old CLASS. She got it; he don’t. She is firmly supportive of her country; he can’t give American away to illegals and enemies fast enough. If this piece of excrement had been around in WWII, likely he would have been the local version of Tokyo Rose.

I remember VJ Day in August, 1945. I was there for the huge parade in downtown Des Moines. Many lined the streets, and others drove in their cars, convertible tops down as we all celebrated. On that day we celebrated Harry Truman and the crew of Enola Gay, and the crew of Bockcar and their Little Boy and Fat Man bombs dropped respectively on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that resulted in the unconditional surrender of Japan.

I have a cousin, still living, who was involved in the production and shipment of uranium to the University of Chicago from the Ames Lab of the Atomic Energy Commission in Ames, Iowa at Iowa State College. a few years later I too worked at Ames Lab while a student at Iowa State.

“What a human piece of garbage Obemba is.”

Barry Sortelo is a half-breed piece of Islamic terrorist PONS usurping his residency in the White Mosque.

Though I am ancient of days, I plan to be around long enough to deficate and urinate on whatever kind of interment site he has.
