True Every day you wake up, you pile on new memories. A lot of your memories are sad. Especially after retirement age. Your grandparents are no longer here. Your parents are no longer here. Maybe your older siblings are no longer here. A lot of your friends you grew up with, are no longer here. A lot of your co-workers, you had a good time with and maybe your spouse is no longer here. 😥 It doesn't necessarily need to be a #war time sad memory. 😢

I have a coworker who is a disabled veteran. He talks pretty grimly about a deployment he did. He was deployed to Korea... In 2005. The dude talks about it like he went to Afghanistan. His disability is sleep apnea, and somehow he now gets $2k a month tax free and can hold a full time job. Now he's an overpaid high school graduate who can't formulate a complete sentence in an email and is untouchable due to being a veteran. Dude cheats his timecard, sharpens hunting knives at his desk, and makes degrading comments about women. Just like any profession, not all vets are worth listening to.

For those that don’t know. It was a kid. He was like 18-19. He wanted to take point in their position and he originally said no because he was the point man/keeping a lookout in their position. That’s why he says the sniper knew he’d be there. But the kid insisted and then the other vets of the group insisted because the kid had a job to do and this was gonna be his first chance to do it. Then the kid goes and pokes his head up and boom. That quick. First mission. First deployment. Just done.

Holy moly, that’s exactly where my grandfather was in World War II probably fighting alongside of this gentleman. He was a marine. He actually lived through it and came home and got married and had six kids, and they all lived in a two bedroom house. The boys were in the attic, and the girls had their own room, and the grandparents had their own room and he worked for the company for 35 years. He was a real man. I always looked up to him more than my parents. My parents were hippies. They cheated on each other. My grandfather and grandmother were the only solid foundation that I could feel like I had a home when I went to visit them I felt like I was at home at my grandparents because my parents moved us all over the place and ended up divorcing.

Sadly, many of those boys didn't make it safely back home. Some men returned severely wounded, and others were lightly wounded. Daddy was only 10 yrs old when WW2 started. He didn't like to talk about all his buddies he hung around with that gave their lives fighting for us. Thank you for your service and priceless sacrifice.

[@Angela-iv7qy]

Not just men & boys, women too. They served. There were many female spies & Resistance Fighters who were nurses & even a couple female snipers. They were driven to it out of desperation, after their entire families were massacred. There were couples who refused to be separated who were Resistance Fighters or farmers who hid their livestock from the Nazis because they didn’t want their horses stolen by the Nazis & killed in a battle or left to die once they were exhausted or their best dairy cows who were pets slaughtered for meat. Real dairy farmers love their cows & treat them like pets. There were many people who smuggled Jews, including some Nazis who didn’t believe in the Final Solution, & at the risk of being tortured & killed, out of Nazi Occupied Areas. The WW2 Generation was an amazing example of Courage, Selfishness & Patriotism that is beyond anything we typically see today. The Biden Regime & Democrats & RINOs have turned our government into an Authoritarian Corrupt Anti American Dictatorship which has caused no one to want to join to serve in Our Military because it’s being run by Traitors & Politicians instead of Real Men & Women who’s Allegiance Is With The USA, not Foreign Borders & Foreign Bureaucracies like the WHO, WEF or the UN UNRWA Terrorists who are against American Sovereignty. Thousands, 30,000 ++ have been counted & recorded crossing into the USA illegally. These War Age Males from China have been recorded Target Practicing. One of the firearms was a sniper rifle. The rest were pistols. Should we be concerned about a Red Dawn Attempt? Even if they take down our Infrastructure, do they think we cannot survive without electricity. It will be like camping, except for killing people who are trying to steal everything like food & water from our family, then they get fed lead! Do y’all think we will have an actual Invading Force of Insurgents placed around the US ready to spring into action when they are commanded by their Generals. It just seems like the dumbest idea because they are all going to get smoked. DRT! The Blue Cities’ Criminals have lots of guns. Red States The People have their firearms & have been target practicing for years, including many avid hunters. How could an Invading Army even attempt to take control of America. The Resistance would wrest the control back really fast.
