A fitting tribute to a real hero.

A hero bump

Amen.

A fitting tribute as well as reminder of the nature of our enemies.

The article does not tell the whole story. Corporal Reeve was 18 years old, on patrol when he was captured along with 18 other American soldiers. Two weeks later, the North Koreans took him and up to nine others into a field and shot them in cold blood. It is hard to imagine the fear in an 18 year old, my youngest is now 19, as he faced the guns of the Communists knowing death was coming.

Awesome effort all around. RIP Cpl Reeve.

Our society is forgetting the horrors of cult-of-personality communist statism. This is a good reminder for those of us who get it.

[Psalm 144]

That is what communists do.

In every country.

[workerbee]

Yes, it is hard to imagine.

I remember my grandmother (may she RIP) reminising about her brother, the youngest child of 7 and the only son, who died at the Battle of the Bulge, at age 19. Corp. Reeve’s story makes me think of him, and of all those young men, from all those wars, who paid that ultimate sacrifice. And I can’t help it, but it just makes me sick to see what’s happening now, how this country (or at least those “in charge”) keep spitting and spitting and spitting on those sacrifices.

Welcome home Corporal Reeve. Thank you for your contribution to our victory over the communists in North Korea. Your sacrifice made a good life possible for millions of Koreans and helped make America's victory in the Cold War possible.

North Koreans executed Corporal Harry James Reeve

There is a brief video clip on youtube of this American soldier’s funeral. May he rest in peace on his native soil.
