“So we did some digging and reached out to our contacts to find out more about Major Sinke, and we can tell you that not only did this man serve as a Marine, he was a highly decorated Marine! He is taking a stand for what he believes is right, and yes he has five Purple Hearts. This man is a true American and Canadian Hero, we salute you Sir and the stand you are taking!!!”
Again, we salute Major Sinke for his stand at the National War Memorial in Canada, and for his service to both of our countries. Major Sinke has also authored several books detailing his experiences in the Vietnam War, one is titled When None Of Their Dreams Are Dead.

Unrelated, but a cool story:
My neighbor of Korean heritage had a big party last month. The next morning he apologized if the party was too loud, which it wasn’t. He told me that his cousin was a Marine who got a star that day.
A star? What do you mean?
He got a star that’s silver.
Do you mean he got a “Silver Star” medal?
Yes! That’s what he got. A big parade too!
My back door neighbor is a former Marine; he walks his dog by that house every day. When I told him of the conversation he had one word: OUTSTANDING! He now salutes the house as he passes.
Good news for a change.
