And if the zer0 had done Gettysburg the transcript would look like this:
I,ME,ME,I,I,I,I,ME,ME,I,I...
Well Ya get the point.
My fellow Americans,
I submit to you, three names. You might not have heard of them.
The first, is my late father, Kenneth Eugene Smith. Who was he?
Prior to WW2, he was a U.S. Army engineer, mapping out
what is now known as The ALCAN Highway. He also served
during WW2, as a merchant seaman on the oil route
to Murmansk. After the war, he served as an USAF Reserve called active,
and stayed active till 1966.
The second name, is my late great-uncle, Joseph P. Franklin.
He served in the infantry during WW1, and was decorated
for his actions during operations in Chateau-Thierry, France.
The last name is Andrew Chowka, Pvt., U.S.M.C., The Wall, 1969.
Andrew was on a patrol in South Vietnam, when a mine
was triggered by another on the patrol, killing them both.
Before that time, he was my neighbor and my best friend.
All three of these men put their lives on the line to keep America free.
What if, it is written, that the people of this land, meet these
and all the kindred others of years gone by, and are
asked, “How has gone the Union?”
