Italian Right Tries to Regain National Holiday (How the Italian leftwing hijacked a holiday )

April 25 is Liberation Day (Festa della Liberazione) in Italy, a national holiday in observance of the liberation of Italy from the Nazis and Fascists. It is a day that honors the memory of the Italian resistance, as well as American and other allied soldiers who died to prevent the light of freedom, which exists in all Italians, from being extinguished by the National Socialist Third Reich and Mussolini's neo-Roman Empire.

To this day, we Italians are grateful to the Americans whose contribution to our freedom is evinced by those still buried in our land, albeit forgotten by their family members so far away. We are grateful for our 1948 Constitution, which was inspired by yours.

All of these things we remember on this day. However, it was not always so.

Until the 1990s, the holiday only memorialized the communist partisans ...

If this doesn’t sound like the politically correct police in America nothing does. If you want to see how and what the liberals to get and keep control read this.

A very nasty remark. Who is she to say that Americans have forgotten their fallen family members? American service members have been stationed in Italy continuously since the war.

Lighten up Iowa. Who is she to say?

How do you konw she doesn’t go to the Sicily-Rome American cemetery at Nettuno?

When was the last time you were there?

I know at least two Italian families who made it a point to bring their kids to that cemetery so that they can appreciate what America did.

This was 65 years ago. Are you going to tell me that the grandkids of those killed in Italy make regular trips there or send flowers?

Hell, people don’t even go to Beverly National Cemetery in New Jersey on a regular basis to pay tribute to those there who were killed in WWII.

You can’t even get the younger generation to go to a Memorial Day parade or hang a flag on Veteran’s Day.

Nasty remark indeed. Facts are nasty aren’t they.

I notice Iowamark doesn’t have a picture of a WWII cemetery on his website. Instead he’s got one of a riverboat used for gambling.

Wow now that’s remembering the war dead isn’t it? What are you going to do Iowamark have a crap game with the tombstone?

The self-rigtheous always make me laugh.

“A very nasty remark. “

Not really. It's pretty much true. Most who lost sons or husbands or fathers in Italy probably visited their graves once or twice, perhaps even several times, but life goes on, and it is “so far away”.

The historic Delta Queen steamboat has never had gambling, as you would know if you had read the information. She is an overnight cruise ship which operated on American rivers form 1927-2008. She was forced to dock because of Democrat-Union pressures and is currently a hotel in Chattanooga. Sadly, 2009 is the first year in 200 years that there has been no overnight steamboat travel on America's inland rivers.

Save the Delta Queen

So what’s that got to do with American soldiers killed in wartime. You’re the one who says the author doesn’t know what she’s talking about because you remember the war dead.

So what’s an overnight cruise riverboat got to do with remember war dead.

You sound like your more worried about riverboat cruises.
