RIP and prayers to the family of this brave soldier. I just finished the HBO “John Adams” and it reminded me of the fact that both Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the 4th of July.

Once again, the kenyan skipping out on Memorial Day at Arlington Nat. is a slap in the face to all who are buried there, but having a Father and two uncles that are there, he made the right choice. Marxists should never be allowed to step foot on such hallowed ground.

As much as I hate to say this, I have too. Not one mention by our lovely LSM on this, if it were a republican president it would have been in bolded headlines on every liberal rag in the land.

My son brought me “John Adams”...looking forward to watching.

I can bear to watch the Memorial Day tribute at Arlington this year now that I know who won’t be there.

I can never repay my debt to those who died to keep me free.

Corporal Leicht was a Marine not a soldier.

“Corporal Leicht was a Marine not a soldier”.

...no disrespect intended.
