“God Bless Mrs. Alencar.
She is obviously a woman with true class.”
I’ll second that. Being a Gold Star father and having had close contact with well over a hundred kindred souls, I would say the ones with class overwhelm the whiners.
People are highly vulnerable in the first days and weeks of such a tragedy. Worst thing is to get hooked up with reporters and talking heads before you can get a grip on things. If I recall, we thought it took about 3 years for a parent to “get normal” after the loss of a child in such circumstances, though you are never the same. Less in the case of a spouse is my experience - perhaps because they are younger and more resilient.
Using people to get press time and make a name in such circumstances is despicable.
To me, all people who serve this country in the military are special people worthy of our heartfelt thanks. Those who have lost a loved one, deserve our utmost respect and support. You’re right, Politicizing this kind of sacrifice is despicable.
Every time I hear people chastise Trump for attacking a Gold Star family during the Democratic Convention, I remind them that it was the Democrats who first chose to use this sacred status to attack Trump, in prime time. It was sickening, as is all of this talk in the media today.
The death of a loved on is hard, for any reason. To know that someone willingly put themselves in jeopardy, and paid the price for MY freedom? It humbles me before God. What a gift of grace.
This was a different call——from April.

The homely slut Frederica Wilson set up Trump to be bitten by the BLACK WIDOW!!
I noticed that this did not get any airtime from the MSM. Probably because it shows Trump as a caring, compassionate individual.
