On this Memorial Day, we honor the fallen as we remind the standing: The single greatest threat to the United States of America and its people are its domestic enemies.
My youngest son and daughter didn't remember seeing me cry before today.
I shared with them stories of my personal memories of fallen friends and of their great grandfather's story.
While my Gpa didn't pass until 2005, at his funeral I was shocked by the dozens of veterans who flew from all over the country, to his service. I talked to them to learn things I never knew about my grandpa, other than that he was a Marine in the South Pacific.
These were Marine pilots, nearly 20 wheelchair bound, who came to honor "Johnny" the Gunney mechanical wizard that kept them alive.
I'll talk about my friends if and when their missions are wver declassified, doing things in places they weren't supposed to be. I had my first drink in over 9 months, a toast to my brothers and sisters. I will never forget the Order of Tequila or The Men of the Rock.
Thank you, P.M. for this. I'm a Hoosier, and every year I cry when I hear "Back Home Again, in Indiana." Indy was, and forever will be, my race. And this is my country. But I want to cry reading this.
Thank you for that remarkable Substack post! Contrasting America then to Amerika now, is eye opening. God help us! The greatest nation in the history of Mankind is hanging by a thread.
massive asymmetry exists because our military, minus some sof, have never been educated to recognize “political warfare” and now have been indoctrinated in such which is, unironically, contrary to the constitution. check.
Thank you for this awe-inspiring remembrance of what things used to be. I miss America. Your writing made me smile and tear up at the same time.
Incredibly kind. Thank you.
