Joseph DiTonnos LST transport ship was about halfway across the English Channel to Normandy when the captains voice cut through the dark over the speaker. Its too rough, were going back, said the captain, to the recollection of DiTonno, now 94 and a resident of a state veterans home in Queens, but then the ships 19-year-old cook.

These are leftist terms. You appear to be on the wrong site
Oh, that old canard again. Get with the times. Being conservative doesn't give you license to disrespect women or older people.
I am older people
Exactly the generation who thinks it's ok to make fun of older women for being a) women and b) old. Which you did. Own it.
Im married to an older woman for near 40 years. I dont need to listen to your love of this disgusting generation and its left wing foibles. Thats what I own.
Glad to hear it! don't post to me any more, and it'll be all good!
