Sir, I am very pleased you are out playing golf this fine day instead of thanking vets or visiting a war memorial. It is very appropriate behavior for you.

My family is from Holland and is very grateful for the sacrifices the US has made. I would like to remind you, sir, during WWII the US suffered 1,000,000 casualties. The US suffered over 400,000 war deaths. From that courageous and steadfast sacrifice sprung forth a liberty and peace that Europe has not witnessed in centuries. That sir is what America fights for. She fights and dies for others. That sir is why we are in Iraq and Afghanistan….to spread freedom and liberty for the betterment of man. Remember sir, prior to WWII, European leadership caused major wars that lasted decades over many centuries. Millions upon millions of deaths occurred because of poor European leadership. That came to an end May 1945 with dare I say the US Victory.

I'm the first generation born here in the States. I wish the Europeans in general could imagine how different life today would be without the great generosity, courage and steadfastness of the men and women of WWII. I wish the Europeans and Democrats in general, and you sir in particular were as generous with freedom today as the great men and women or WWII were then. Iraq and Afghanistan would then have much better chances of success.

I have nothing more to say to you sir. Have a good day.

OUtstanding post and welcome to FR! I look forward to reading more of your posts.

My father who was shot down twice flying paratroopers in africa during ww2 would have appreciated your post if he were still alive. Thank you and welcome to FR.
