A World War II veteran in Torrington, Connecticut, is giving lessons about patriotism to anyone who will listen.

Ninety-five-year-old John Mastrocola takes his American flag and sits in a lawn chair on his sidewalk every morning at 8 a.m., according to Fox 61.

“I am one of the very few World War II veterans left, so before I leave I want them to remember John ‘never surrender’ Mastrocola,'” he told the outlet.

A Man’s Man.

It must sadden him to see what is happening to the America that he and others fought and many died for. I am glad that my folks, both WWII Veterans, are not here on earth to witness this mayhem . . . but rather with Jesus witnessing His Glory!

This Veteran;s patriotism should be shared by all media outlets.

God bless him.

>> It must sadden him to see what is happening to the America

Or to help delay the inevitable battles we confront today.

A motto I’ve personally adopted and truly believe: Never in Vain — No Patriot’s commitment & sacrifice goes without recognition & purpose for as long as we continue to fight regardless of our station.

A better American than any Democrat.

Damn...I'm gonna be passing near Torrington tomorrow.However,it's supposed to be close to 100 degrees tomorrow so it would be understandable if a guy his age stayed indoors in the A/C.

I wish I knew where he lived so I could at least drive by and honk my horn (assuming he's not outside).

[Gay State Conservative]

On second thought I'm gonna call Fox 61 first thing tomorrow morning to see if they'll tell me where he lives.Of course they might not tell me.They have no way of being sure that I'm not some Antifa Maoist looking to harm him.

Ck your pm for his Address.

My father-in-law is 94 and a WW2 vet. He hates conservatives and especially Trump with a morbid passion. He watches nothing but MSNBC. Both my wife and brother-in-law are diehard conservatives like me. In fact, the entire family are Trump supporters. Yesterday my wife went to see him and he had a picture of Biden on the wall.

My late aunt...who was my surrogate mother (my real Mom died when I was young)...came of age during the Depression.She was also a devout Catholic.In her later years we had many lively discussions on politics...she having been a rabid Democrat and me just the opposite.

I used to say to her "Peg,the Democrats have utter contempt for everything you,a good Catholic,believe in.Why do you vote for them?"

"Because they give me my Social Security".

At that point I knew that there was no hope.

It seems distinctly possible that your father-in-law is of a similar mindset.
