We are losing the truly great ones and replacing them with the millenium pansies.

A reminder how hard we have to fight to keep the country Thatcher and his comrades fought to preserve.

Rest in peace, Corporal Thatcher. May your family be comforted at this time of loss by the long time you spent with them, by the knowledge that you were a decent and patriotic citizen who measurably contributed to the well-being of this country, and by the millions who silently mourn your passing.

I met the daughter of one of the Raiders. She swam in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico city. Her father had wrestled in the 1934 Olympics in Berlin. Many of these people had gone on to other accomplishments.

There has to be a very special place in Heaven for men such as this.

Looking back, I would imagine the Japanese press probably never printed the story, kind of like our media today in America.

I wonder how today’s news media would have played off the bombing of Pearl Harbor. yea, fighting off American imperialism, that would be it. We deserved it doncha know.

The media today is so discussing, I am so happy I don’t even have a TV and have to see or hear their propaganda anymore.
