Thanks for your kindness.
My service was before the Vietnam War, so I saw all the leftist junk that went on then.
Now they are in charge.
My dad’s a Korea vet. Supposed to teach mountain climbing in Austria but they mixed up his orders and he ended up on the frontlines at the DMZ.
At one point the radio report got the numbers of the unit mixed up and mistakenly reported that his unit had been entirely annihilated. My Mom spent over a week thinking he was dead before she got a postcard saying he was OK. She still has the postcard he sent saying he was on his way home, and they both still cry whenever they see it.
He came back home and fathered 12 kids with the wife of his youth and still holds hands and kisses her when she has to go back home after visiting him at the care center.
I asked him one time what war was like and he said, “Nellie, I fought over there so you would never have to know what war is like.”
I so desperately wish that I could have fought hard enough here for him to never have to see his nation fall to its knees not in prayer but in defeat. Seeing what’s happening in America now is killing us both.
