They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:  Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.  At the going down of the sun and in the morning  We will remember them.
Excerpt from “For the Fallen” by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943), first published in 1914

I do not know your name-~ Nor for which battle you died. do not know your home, Nor the tears that were cried. I do not know where you rest~ Nor the promises broken. I do not know your uniform And your fears lay unspoken. But, I know your spirit exists~ That your courage is admired, And your sacrifice is honored By each soul that's inspired. And I offer you from my heart Thank you, to guardians unknown For offering yourselves for us all That we may keep freedom... Our home. ~ Sherrie Ball

WWII vets would be called 'antifa' by MAGA. Fascists in Europe would be called 'good people'. Their crimes would get MAGA pardons.
Sad. Profoundly sad.

The flag covered caskets of brothers and sisters returning home through Dover.
This is a representation of just a fraction of the cost of our freedom. Our liberty was purchased at too high a price to surrender it to any agenda or special interest.
