Check this guy out. He and the president became friends, and he will be attending the funeral.
We may have brave men but we will never have better
Glory O, Glory O to the bold Fenian Men
The post above you says it happened due to being shot down in the Pacific.
Which is guys? Was he in both theaters?
Gutwrenching. One WWII warrior to another
The two posts referred to HW and Dole respectively. HW went down in the Pacific, Dole was in Italy when he was hit.
This moment is bringing our peril into stark clarity.
Bush Sr. could not be re-elected in 1992 because we needed a Rapist to be President.
We could not have Bob Dole as President in 1996 because a Rapist needed to continue to be President.
John McCain could not be President in 2008 because we needed an Anti American to be President.
Our problem in this nation is not the weak Republican leadership— it is a vicious anti-American intellectual culture that deliberately sabotages every Presidential election.
let’s start getting honest about this.
You’re right, Carter should go sometime in the near future. W might be the last president we ever have to have served in the military.
That is all so very sadly true. It is undoubtedly due to the purposeful systemic omission of the greatness of Western Civilization, American history and patriotism in the public school system.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is an American.
Amen
When I saw this it brought tears to this grumpy guy’s eyes. It also reminded me of my father who was part of that generation and was a Sherman tank driver.
It's very likely. He's 94.
