If Only Democrats Loved America Like Pilsen Czechs
Plancks Constant ^ | 15 Aug 2010 | Bernie

Early in the morning of 6 May 1945, American soldiers from the 2d Cavalry Group, Third Army, under the command of General George S. Patton, reached south-western Bohemia and decisively helped in the liberation of the city of Pilsen in what is now the Czech Republic.

It wasn't until the fall of Communism that the citizens of Pilsen finally learned who it was that liberated their city and so every year since 1990 the city has held a "Liberation Festival" to honor American soldiers. The festival has become a local tradition and many American and Allied veterans make it a point to attend.

While most anti-war demonstrations are infested with liberal Democrats who believe that war never solves anything and who despise our military, the citizens of Pilsen know better and appreciate, respect and venerate the heroes that sacrificed so much to make the world and their city free.

I bet George S. Patton and Ronald Reagan have a higher place of honor in Pilsen than in most cities in the USA.
