Korea
Vietnam
Iraq

Three wars undermined by the socialists and their useful idiots both inside and outside our government.

Thanks, Ma and Ronnie; a touching remembrance.

NEVER FORGET

.

It has been my direct experience in Life that...

...the one thing The LOVE Itself needs more of in this world,

for GOD is LOVE,

...is more LOVE.

.

And that only comes when...

...people are FREE..!!!

.

Making American Troops who so selflessly fight to bring more Freedom and LOVE around the world,

and their loved ones who wait for them to come home ...or not...

...HOLY in GOD’s Eyes.

.

As they put a broad Smile on GOD’s Face in the Process.

Just for the LOVE of it..!!!

.

NEVER FORGET

.

Thanks for the Ping

""Keep up the fire," responded Larry James, 62, who commanded a platoon of Manchus near Cu Chi, Vietnam, until 1969." Amen brother.

"The two most unpopular American wars of the last century have found an intersection of sorts here in Washington,..." I didn't realize that WWI, WWII and Korea were more popular with the public.

President John F. Kennedy, 1961 - For those who fight for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.
