My grandfather narrowly escaped capture in the Phillipines in late 1941. He was injured and was taken off the islands to New Guinea (and thenlater to Australia) aboard the “Mactan”, which was the LAST hospital ship to leave before the Japanese over-ran the joint. He returned later at the same time MacArthur did!

As far as I am concerned, we should have dropped more A-bombs on them.

What do you notice about all those pictures? She is holding flowers, leaning over, standing behind a podium... look how she is hiding herself. It’s obvious she is pregnant... and obviously completely irresponsible to fly to Japan while she is pregnant, I might add....

In order for Nazi Pelosi to be pregnant, it would have to be an immaculate conception...even test tube sperm would swim the other way faster than the speed of light.

I just searched google news for “pelosi visits ground zero NY “

Your search - pelosi visits ground zero NY - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.
Try fewer keywords.

My wonderful Grandfather just died August 21st as I held his hand. He was a PROUD WWII Navy Veteran. He served in the Eurpean theatre as well as the Pacific theatre.

Earlier this year he spent hours telling me stories about the Pacific theatre. My brave Papa never expected to make it home from that war. He fought aboard LST 621 and expected to die by a kamikaze attack. During the Battle of Okinawa he said for over a month straight he’d wake up from his short naps and be amazed that he was still alive.

He was THRILLED we dropped the bombs! He said that’s what saved his life.

I’m glad he passed before this evil, vile excuse for a human being made this trip. My Papa would be disgusted and feel betrayed.

I loathe that Pelosi creature with a loathing I didn’t know I was capable of. She has me so angry I can hardly see through the tears as I type this.

My proud Papa loved his wife, his family and his country and I miss him terribly already.

Eager to show off her new implants, Ms. Pelosi directs a reluctant Yohei Kono to the scene of the crime....

As I said on another thread — my Dad was on Okinawa when they dropped the bombs. If Truman hadn’t dropped them, my Dad would have been in the first wave of the invasion of Japan. I thank Harry Truman every day of my life!

[In Japanese] ... and then the stupid Gaijin complained that President Bush wouldn't surrender to Al Qaeda, so she offered to surrender to Japan instead. I told her that America already won World War II, but even after repeating myself four times she couldn't understand the concept of "winning a war".

Mega-dittoes, VirginiaMom! My Dad was in the Army during that battle. He doesn’t talk about it, even though I have asked him a few times. Hopefully I have a few more years to wheedle it out of him. ;-)
