The account of his bravery is movie stuff. Amazing American. As were so many of that generation.

One of the best books I’ve ever read, or at least the first half of was, The Greatest Generation. Amazing what those men, women and this country did.

I doubt it’s possible that it could ever happen again.

I think it was on Netflix, maybe Amazon Prime - but a whole series of shows on Medal of Honor recipients from all stages of history. Amazing stories.

The first(?) black guy to get it was severely wounded and was in the hospital for numerous gun shot wounds sustained during his heroic rescue of some guys (and capturing several Germans). One day though the hospital called his commander to report that he had escaped the hospital and gone AWOL.

“No he’s not - he’s back up here with us. Thanks for the call though.”

Thats for sure, we are accosted by a generation of leftist/socialist brainwashed youth who continuously look for government handouts rather than pursuing happiness under individual freedoms.

They are worse than spavined mules, Donks who want to weigh the country down in an ideologically , upatriotic, banckrupt morass.

We need to defeat them completely and utterly.

And President Trump is our last chance to show them the path of patriotism, courage , hard work, liberty and Divine Providence.He must win in 2020.

Kind of a cruel irony that the Greatest Generation begat the Worst Generation, only bailed out by the fact that each subsequent generation is turning out even worse than the previous.

I'm absolutely certain that it will happen again, when needed. I reject outright the very concept of a "greatest generation".
