We are so fortunate to have had fathers that were real patriots. Not these bastards in congress today, who are willing to sell our country down the river to appease some low life tyrant.
Thank you. We we are fortunate to have had such men as my father who just did what was expected of them at the time. He never bragged about anything he had done. In fact, the only story I remember him telling me was of being scraffed on a beach by a jap zero and diving into a hole next to another udt team member. He said he sat there for a long while to make sure that the danger had passed and all the while the man next to him was just shaking in terror. He turned to him to tell him to calm down and it was at that time he realized that the man was dead and he was the one doing the shaking. Always very self-depreciating about himself and what he did in the war. I think that most of the men who fought in that war were much the same.
