Thoughts on Memorial Day
I was viewing my father’s name on The National WWII Museum honoree list. He served during WWII in the Army then served in the Air Force and retired out at just over 26 years of service to our country.
I knows if he were alive now he would be saddened by what is happening in our country and angry at those who follow the concepts of fascism, an evil he fought against. I’m angry at the cowards and bullies trying to destroy the principles this country was founded upon. I’m also angry with those so blinded by the lies they can’t see they are actually destroying the freedoms we have enjoyed. Freedoms bought with the blood of true patriots of the past and now in jeopardy due to this administration, their followers and those who seek profit from the misery of others.
I want to see Donald Trump and his followers to be held accountable for the evil they are subjecting this world to. If we can’t leave the world a better place for our children and grandchildren, then we have failed as a species. I know there are good people in this world. Please stop the hate and listen carefully. Don’t parrot what you hear on the news but check multiple sources of information. Think about what you are doing before you act and consider what effect it will have on others. During WWII, Hitler’s propaganda machine got people to hate their neighbors with lies. It targeted the Jews, gays, gypsies, the mentally ill, the news media and so many others as a distraction to hide their evil. Please don’t let history repeat itself in this the 21st century.
