SMACKDOWN: FOX News Reporter John Roberts Catches Biden Campaign in a Lie and Brings ALL the Receipts (VIDEO)
By Mike LaChance Jun. 5, 2024 10:40 pm

Excerpt:

” Roberts took to the airwaves on Wednesday and disproved the Biden campaign’s accusation and he brought all of the receipts to back up his argument.

” You can tell from the way Roberts addresses this that he is not cool with what Biden’s people tried to do here. “

Mom was one of the first WACS.

Both beautiful and daring, she came over to England on the Queen Mary, which was fast enough to escape the German subs that were following it.

Mom was in the hospital with cellulitis from a tooth extraction when she heard the transport planes fly her unit to Normandy. She was one of the first recipients of penicillin, which saved her life. Generals stood at her bed to determine if she was sick enough to get the drug.

Many of her friends must have died, because she never talked much about the war - only the good times.

Her name is listed in the Women’s Military Memorial in Washington D.C.

My uncle Harold was a navy medic on Omaha beach. Saw a lot, no doubt.

He also served in a MASH unit in Korea, and volunteered to serve in Vietnam to save his 4 sons from being drafted. Uncle Harold, the only boy of 7 offspring, was an absolute hero as far as I’m concerned.

And so were all that took part in that invasion.

If they knew what their country was to become in present times, I wonder if they’d have been inspired to fight as hard.

My dad was at Green Beach.

There were 5 'beaches' @ Normandy on 6June44, code-named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.

My Uncle Dick served in the Navy. He was dropping off the boys on the beach on D-day and was a part of the designated invasion force waiting to attack if the Japs refused to sign the unconditional surrender docs.

He passed peacefully in his sleep in December 1979.
