My father also served during WWII, but didn’t make a career of it. I’m glad my Dad didn’t live to see the likes of Obama or even Carter, for that matter. Like you opined, ‘what has happened to all the real men?’
Well, many good men have replaced them, but too many slugs have also replaced them.
Keep praying and may God always bless and keep you and your precious family.
Thank you for your father’s service. He may not be not be around physically, but he’ll always be in your heart and you know what he did and the honor he put his life on the line for.
Last I saw the statistic, over 2,400 men from WWII were dying every day but I looked it up and in 2012 it is around 600 a day. Maybe there just aren’t that many left. I would hope that they passed on what they did to their families. My father only talked about the actual fighting in WWII mentioning only three incidents. But he loved to talk about leave and the girls he met. I think most vets don’t like to talk about what they saw and based on what my dad described, I can understand why. Plus they don’t want to sound like they’re bragging.
You pray as well for all your loved ones and yourself and the future of this country. Men will always let us down but God, never; people just need to understand that time for him is probably incomprehensible for us.
Have a great weekend.
