60 years to the day after my father-in-law, a surgeon, was killed on the carrier
Franklin off the coast of Japan. The ship took a bomb as it was arming for an air strike and turned into an inferno. Some 900 men died. Yet she stayed afloat and eventually came home on her own power. She suffered more casualties than any other ship that did not go down.
These men fought and died for American values and freedom. Sixty years later, Big Brother decrees that it is illegal to give water to a dying woman.
Sickening.
