As we look back to that day 66 years ago, we should reflect on the qualities that allowed us to achieve victory over tyranny. And we should do our best to rebuild those qualities, now that we need them again. But if we need a reminder of what those qualities are, we need only look at our multi-racial, multi-ethnic armed forces. They are role models for us all.

According to the French and our Usurper in Chief all those guys swimming ashore on D-Day were wet back illegal immigrants.
It doesn't look like it. This is not the country my dad fought for, it's becoming what he fought against.

What can you expect when our total population is dilluted with immigrants from places whose countries did not fight in WWII and who have no intention of ever assimilating in American society. The sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation mean nothing to them — their fathers and grandfathers were not involved in WWII.
no, we are weak as butter and our culture is being waged war against from within
I was also thinking of the many people I know who find America-bashing fashionable, even though their families have lived here for generations.
Thankfully there are enough people still on “our” side.
