94 Year Old Veteran Recounts D-Day
Our Brother Knight Frank De Vita is 94 years old. On D-Day he had just turned 19 and was serving in the U.S. Coast Guard. For 70 years he never talked about it.
At 4:00 AM on D-Day, they started lowering their boats and headed toward the beach. He froze when he had to open the ramp. Machine gun bullets were "hitting like a typewriter" and killed 13 or 14 men on his boat.
Recounting the day, he said, “Do I go back into the belly of the beast? I said to myself, if I don’t go back, somebody’s gonna have to take my place. And if they’re killed, I couldn’t live with that for the rest of my life.”
We salute Frank De Vita and all of the brave men and women of the Armed Forces who have courageously served their nation.

I'm a 4th Degree Knight. But I'm not a worthy Sir Knight. You, sir, ARE a Worthy Sir Knight. Thank you, and ALL other combat veterans, for your service and sacrifice. I love all of you with all my heart and soul.

You are worthy don’t have that mindset. We are all created equal and no one is above anyone else. EQUALITY FOR ALL
