Anyhow...besides the fact that the ADN is indeed pond scum, I am thankful that these wonderful vets get to make this voyage and that the airline gives it to them. Some people are much nicer than others!
God bless our vets...especially since it’s VE day today! :)
America has had many great generations.
Those who fought and won the Revolution. Those soldiers in the War Between the States, who marched into almost certain death without hesitation. Those who charged up San Juan Hill, and those in WWI who suffered so much in the trenches.
I particularly remember those American Navy sailors who faced down and eventually beat the Japanese when all the cards were stacked against them. At Midway where they beat the best trained and most highly selective pilots and aircrew in the world. Japanese pilots flying better aircraft than we had. They sent four Japanese Carriers to the bottom of the sea and never let them dominate the Pacific again.
