Mrs. McCarthy came to him at one point and said, “Sergeant, these people from the newspapers are saying they are going to spit on my husbands’s body. Can you do something, please?” He said, “Maam, I will stand at attention with my hand on my sword.” Dad was a Guadalcanal, Pellelieu, and Inchon veteran. God rest him.
No one spat on the senator’s body or casket that day, but that was what our friends inn the press were like, even back then. They loved the wrong Joe. Stalin. Unfortunately, you saw that this writer got the wrong house of congress. The libs do that all the time.
God bless your Dad and what he fought and stood for.
