Yes, indeed. And what I find particularly frustrating is many older D voters can’t see that.

They think they’re voting for the party of Harry Truman. But they’re really voting for the party of Bolshevik Bernie Sanders.

I wish they did name it after jazz great Oscar Peterson.

I saw him at The London House in Chicago. Magnificent man and pianist, worthy of any and all honors.

US Navy ships/boat, when named for a person, are generally named for Sailors or Marines. Presidents, of course, are the exception. Audie Murphy was plenty honourable enough, but he was Army.

Yes, James Doohan lost a finger on Juno Beach. Shot by a fellow Canadian.

BTW, my dad commanded an LCT on Utah Beach.

This is as it should be. Memorializing--and bringing to light--the heroism of a man who sacrificed his own life so that others could live.


God rest you sir.

I think of John Wayne as a draft dodger making millions off of other people’s heroics...
