World War I 53,402
World War II 291,557
Korea 33,686
Vietnam 47,434

America's proud Eagle has so many to watch over.

We aren’t supposed to cuss. But Biden is a low life asshole. He’s a criminal racket leader. A low life bottom of his class lawyer and a draft dodger.

POTATUS might’ve forgot. He is demented and has dementia. Dr. Jill should check his meds.

I feel somewhat honored that I was able to dislike him since 1972 as I lived in Delaware at the time. My dad hated him as he was no friend of the military. Years later when I joined the USAF Biden was still screwing the military. After I got out, he was still doing the same.

Any moment now, the House Republican leadership is going to unleash a furious response to this as they did in reacting to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comments about masks. Yup, it’s going to be epic what they say about Biden ignoring Rolling to Remember. Just need to give them a few more minutes to finish puddling the floor and they’ll be ready.

The Eagle’s Watch

In a quiet river valley, Lies a green and peaceful place, Where warriors come to rest, Having honorably met their fates.

No more do they stand the watch, Their worthy service donen, They’ve passed their duties on To other Fathers’ sons.

Yet flying high above them, On silent wings spread wide, Soars freedom’s embodiment, And a country’s sign of pride.

The mighty Eagle watches o’er all And guards their well-earned rests. For he like they, knows the feel, Of Freedom in his chest.

And though he does his best to guard, The fallen warriors’ sleep. Still at times he grows so weary, And must rest his wings a-beat.

So slowly he glides his way, To where the fallen rest, And there he bides his time a bit Among the honored Vets.

And though he knows no words, Of the valiant warrior’s speech, Still they communicate, In a way that words can’t reach.

Having communed with those who lie, Among the rows of stone, The Eagle takes to flight again, And resumes his post alone.

In endless soaring circles, He surely makes his rounds. Guarding the fallen heroes, Who make this hallowed ground.

I thought it was 58,000 plus Viet Nam American deaths?

I wonder if the FIB did.

Or if they took license plate numbers and are going to be harassing the participants for the next several years.
